With a 80GB hard disk inside you can rip your CD collection in a variety of MP3 bit rates. You can also make use of your PC if you have a large collection of music on it, either by copying the files directly on to the system’s internal disk or by hooking it up to your home network (wired or wireless). Philips provides a really simple and foolproof application to set your computer up as a media server.
The ‘Music Follows Me’ feature is pretty snazzy. If you’re moving from the room with the music Centre to one with a Station, hitting the ‘Music Follows Me’ button allows the music to be paused, and then continued on the Station in the other room. A well-designed, two-way remote control features an LCD screen that mimics the ones on the two systems perfectly. The system it controls can be altered manually on the remote itself.
Also among the improvements is a USB slot on the top of each player which allows you to plug in a thumb drive or your iPod, browse, play and copy tracks to and from the base station’s hard disk, with a dedicated iPod cradle available as an optional extra.
