The Symphony looks and acts just like a CD player, but underneath is actually a personal computer with the sole purpose of managing and distributing your music files. Review by Gary Krakow.
...CDs are handled by a Panasonic CD-R/RW drive. When the Symphony rips tracks, it can record into AIFF, WAV, FLAC, MP3 and MP3 VBR files. It can play what it records as well as PCM, ACC, OGG and WMA files.
