The digital music revolution has largely forgotten the audiophile. Audio output circuits in PC and MP3 Players are designed for efficiency, not accuracy. Luckily, Olive has arrived to save us from mediocrity, with a stylish music center for the sound snob. Pop in a disc within seconds the Musica calls up artist, song, album, and genre from its database. CD audio playback is excellent, if a touch restrained. Converting tunes to files couldn't be easier: Hit import and the unit pipes them into its hard drive. The Musica even records from tape, vinyl and all other analog sources. - Jon J. Eilenberg
