The AudioReQuest unit includes a CD player that allows users to store personal compact disc collections of up to 150 hours, eliminating both the bulk of CD collections and the need to manually change CDs while listening to different artists. Through a parallel connection, users can also download digital music directly from a PC or the Internet. People already enjoy the ease and convenience of downloading music from the Internet to build personal collections. Connected to any television, AudioReQuest provides an interface that allows users to play CD-quality digital music while creating playlists, organizing music or watching animation that ranges from fireworks to psychedelic shows that move in time with the music. Users can also import pictures from a digital camera to create slide shows that play along with music selections.
Users operate AudioReQuest with a simple remote control or an optional wireless keyboard.
