Digital Music Player

[jonnybw]

I've been been in the market for a new CD player, but everyone I know has switched from regular CD player to Digital Music Servers/Centers with integrated hard drives so you can copy your CDs directly to player. My friend has an Escient, but navigating to find the music you copy is a huge inconvinience. I think I'm going to digitize with th rest of the world, but I was wondering if anyone knew anything about Olive Media Products (www.olive.us). They make a very similar HD device, but navigaton seems almost identical to iPod(Sweet!). The other brand in question is Consegata (www.consegata.com) They make a distribution center, but I think it requires you to have a computer running special software...Can anyone help me out??? I will admit, I don't know too much about audiophile technical stuff, but I would be greatful for a kick in the right direction.
