Overview
A music fan with a shelf of CDs and a stereo system gets a five disc carousel from Sony that plays discs and burned mixes, shows track text, and plays files from a USB stick. CD SYNC copies tracks to USB as compressed files.
Long play sessions and quick disc swaps suit parties and background listening. It needs an amplifier or powered speakers and has no headphone jack.
Who it's for
Owners of home stereos with CD libraries will use the carousel and USB ripping. Those listening only on headphones need a player with a headphone jack.
Pros and cons
- Five disc carousel

Performance notes
Playback runs from the carousel, letting discs change without stopping the music. Digital output over optical lets a receiver handle conversion. USB ripping speed and quality are set by the file encoding.
