The Olive Symphony: The mega iPod for your stereo


I just read about this new component, The Olive Symphony in the NY TImes. It sounds like a new revolution in stereo components.

You might also look at the squeezebox 3 if you have a computer on all the time and a wireless network:

That might work! They have a seminar on it at their headquarters near me tomorrow, so I'll go and check it out. Thanks.
Just got a pair of them in today... Nice looking--not 1/2" aluminum plate crowd nice, but OK for quasi-mass market stuff. I'll be interested in seeing how they look lit up and, more importantly, how they sound...
I called Olive. The "Musica," is the next model up from the one reviewed in the Stereophile newsletter. It has a 160 GB hard drive, but doesn't have the Classical Software for auto cataloging your recordings. I also asked about adding hard drives as mentioned in Stereophile. I was told that capability is not yet available.
I should have thought to ask about the remote control. I wonder if it has a scroll display like an I-pod?

A scroll display on the remote itself? That would probably sell me right there.
