What is musicm8?
musicm8 is a Network Attached Storage solution to securely store music, movie and
picture files on a typical home network, with a usable storage capacity of 1TB (terabyte), or
almost 10,000 songs.
Simple NAS devices are in significant demand as home storage needs grow. However, mu-
sicm8 is a world first by using XiVA’s proven CD conversion technology; musicm8 incorpo-
rates a slot load CD drawer and CD recording engine.
For a user who wants to store all their music files on a network device, this provides the
means to simply insert and record a CD unattended, with no PC required and have it avail-
able to all their music devices and PCs throughout the home without any configuration or
set up.
