The Folio aims to combine 'pure unadulterated sound quality with massive storage capacity, and has no need for PCs or TV screens'.
It's a one-box solution – well, two with the power supply – with a CD-ripping drive that turns your CDs in to digital files of your choosing in a matter of minutes.
Set by default to rip in FLAC lossless format, you can also rip in Ogg Vorbis or good ol' MP3 at a bitrate of your choosing.
The package comes bundled with the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet that works as your touchscreen browser over your Wi-Fi network, with all the normal search and playlist functionality you'd expect.
The Folio comes with dual hard drives that using the RAID technology automatically uses one hard disk as a back-up copy of the other, which is handy.
