If hard drive betters optical digital retrieval


Then why doesn't someone develope a cd/dvd player that reads the disk transfers the data to hard drive, and plays it back from the hard drive since it sounds better?
Then when another disk is inserted does it all over again writing over the old data.
Hello.

Memory Player fits your question exactly -- still seems to be hard to get though.
How about a Squeezebox...Thats all I have used for the last three years..I don't even own a cdp anymore.
MacIntosh made a beast of what you are talking about, it has a 750 GB HD but is like 5K. It may beat a computer but is not worth the sound difference.
The new $24k Boulder basically does this, but it uses a memory buffer, not a hard drive.

I expect to see more of this type of thing as solid state storage matures.
