XiVA™ MusicM8

What is the musicm8?..... this is essentially a CD 'ripping' device which also incorporates a 1Tb network storage drive, more commonly known as a NAS drive. The beauty of this product is it sits on your computer network and all you need to do to 'rip' a CD is insert it and around 4 mins later, it ejects when finished. The result is the CD being recorded onto the internal NAS drive as your preferred file type i.e MP3 or FLAC etc. The musicm8 has also at this point tagged the artist, album and track information and lastly added the album artwork. Sonos music system owners want somewhere to store their digital music library so they can easily access it from their Sonos multi room music system. The good news is that the XiVA™ musicm8 is the perfect network drive storage solution for you.

For customers who want an easy solution that means they don’t need to use a PC/Mac to rip CD’s successfully via iTunes etc, this is the solution!. No need to spend hours configuring the musicm8. The musicm8 has been designed to get going straight out of the box.

As a result you don’t even need to have your PC powered up to play music from your Sonos or similar system. Not everyone knows how to rip CD's, source track info and tag album artwork. This device is really aimed for people who want a non technical solution. You don’t need to read the manual or attend a training course to operate the product.

Xiva are a sub brand of Imerge, therefore with an excellent reputation within the IT industry as they offer a high standard of technical support (if ever needed).
