From MSNBC:
It looks and acts just like a CD player. It plays CDs and hooks into your stereo system.
Take a closer look at Olive’s Symphony, however, and you can tell there’s more going on underneath. A lot more.
The Symphony is actually a multi-faceted personal computer with the sole purpose of managing and distributing your music files. And it’s terrific.
Tomorrow marks the beginning of a revolution in the classical music business. Fortuna Classical Music has placed an ad in Gramophone Magazine announcing the development of Maestro, the first and only music player for the classical music enthusiast.
