NEW YORK--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Aug.
9, 1999--netDrives introduced today the world's first MP3/CD
player for a home stereo system at the Interactive Music Xpo in
New York City. The player, called the Brujo (brew-hoe), is the
first on the market that can directly connect to a home stereo's
receiver or amplified stereo speakers.
"Because of the Brujo, MP3s
are no longer limited to computer speakers or the headphones of a
portable player"' said Jennifer Wolfe, president of netDrives.
"The Brujo is spurring the evolution of MP3 by allowing the
music to be heard by a wider audience."
The Brujo is the first MP3 player
that is "PC free,"' meaning it never needs to be hooked
up to a personal computer. Users download MP3 files from the
Internet and burn them on to a CD, which can hold over 11 hours of
music. The CD can then be played on the Brujo to enjoy through a
home stereo system.
In addition to recognizing MP3
files, the Brujo also plays traditional CDs. "This feature
eliminates the need for another piece of hardware," said Wolfe,
who added that the Brujo also comes with a remote control. The
Brujo can be purchased through netDrives' Web site at www.netdrives.com.
