New York based Sooloos creates lossless music system.

zekrahminator · Oct 11, 2006

Anyone who is not satisfied by a simple MP3 in terms of quality may be interested in a product from Sooloos. For roughly $12,000, someone can buy a lossless music system with between one and three terabytes of storage. Sooloos' system works with three main components. The first component, or the Store, is the RAID protected storage system. Each unit comes with three terabytes of storage space, which should store 6,000 CD's in lossless audio. There can be a maximum of 32 Stores in one of Sooloo's systems. The Stores connect to the Source using a home network, which then proceed to read and play the lossless music on the Stores. Everything is controlled by a Control, which comes with a 17" LCD screen and a CD drive to rip CD's into lossless format. Sooloo's system will automatically configure everything, all the user really has to do is put music in. Sooloo also has plans for opening a music store in the future.

12 grand for... what? some NAS and an HTPC? lossless CD ripping itself isn't exactly difficult or abstruse...

It's great for people who have no clue how to make any of that stuff work, because it does everything for the user (not to mention it has 3TB of data)

no doubt for 12k you could get a mini home cinema

OH MY GOD! ... I lost some of my music! I guess I need to spend $12,000 to get it back, LOL!!!

Dude, that Sig is a little tooooooooo sugestive.

This is definitely not worth $12K. This is maybe $2000 worth of hard drives stuck in a NAS connected to maybe a $1000 SFF MCE PC. For that price you could get a 60" Plasma, a simply amazing stereo system, and still have the $3000 left over to buy the MCE PC and the $2000 worth of hard drives and NAS storage.
