14 DAY TRIAL // Now, this is something really cool and as far as I am concerned, it looks like this is the first music-related things to actually have me thinking nice things about the Industry and RIAA and all the things related to music. Sooloos is the first music service/player combo that actually offers a neat integration that would most likely make everybody happy.[admark=1]
Let's take things one by one. First of all, it's the control thingie. We're talking a 17" touch-screen that will actually allow you to "touch" your music; the Sooloos terminal is operated by means of this terminal alone, so it grants you a direct and permanent interaction with your music, so to say. (This unit may look like an iMac, but by all means it is not.)
So what's the fuss, might you ask. Well the cool thing is that the Sooloos can store from 1 to 3 TB of music, categorized and ordered music data, from tracks to album art; even more, you will surely enjoy the cool search function allowing you to sort your music by artist, genre, mood, song picks, album reviews and more. Whatever is that you're looking for, Sooloos will give you relevant results in moments.
Secondly, it's the customizable playback: Sooloos can deliver music in as much as 32 zones! Yep, read once more and repeat after me: 32 zones! This practically means that you can musically administer immense areas and make everybody happy, as your pretentious guests will enjoy the smooth jazz in the living room, while you listen to your fav metal tracks in the kitchen, preparing new drinks and your children are going to sleep listening to a bedtime story. Cool, cool, cool!
You can decide how much storage space you need, between 1 and 3 TB of music, meaning between 2,500 and 6,000 albums. You can add remote control panels with 7" touchscreens in key locations around the house or can opt in for the wireless 7" touchscreen remote.
Finally, the awesome industry related thing I've told you about: Sooloos needs no ripping as it comes with preloaded music of your choice: "If it's in print, you can get it from the Sooloos Shop. Browse online and choose from hundreds of thousands of CD titles. Get personalized recommendations based on what you already own. Most importantly, get it shipped to your door and into your Sooloos system instantly." This is what the Sooloos ad says.
What more could you want? Has your fav artist released a new album you want to get? Nothing simpler: get online, order the CD form Sooloos at a fair price, then have it delivered to your door together with an encoded high-capacity disc whose content will be imported by Sooloos in minutes so you can start enjoying your digital-quality media instantly, without even having to care for formats, bitrates and other stuff associated with ripping.
The Sooloos comes at an announced prince of $12,000 for the 1TB storage and obviously bigger bucks for the larger capacities.
