Fast CD-Ripping with metadata and cover art

Archive tens of thousands of Albums, all cataloged and immediately listenable

The Cocktail A udio X50D rips Audio CDs quickly and precisely, with bit-by-bit reading for perfect extraction of the digital data contained on the optical medium. The Cocktail Audio X50D will catalog your CD collection by album, artist, musical genre, composer, year of production, mood, number of discs making up the album, cover, and will store all this information in the MusicDB X50D music database.

Gracenote Cocktail Audio

This album information is fetched in real time by the Gracenote premium metadata service, through which the Cocktail Audio X50 will automatically identify the cover art, album name, artist name, genre, composer name, etc. .The encoding options offered during ripping are six: WAV, FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, MP3 or OGG.You can rip the complete Audio CDs, or choose to extract only the tracks of your interest.The music files stored in Inside the Cocktail Audio systems are absolutely standard files and are freely accessible and reproducible even by other music reproduction devices able to read the same audio formats. We care about the fact that all your music tracks are always easily usable and accessible even through other devices, and for this reason the data is NEVER encrypted in any way by the CocktailAudio. Think of the inconvenience you would have if a proprietary system for encrypting the music tracks was used! In fact, in case of need, you would no longer be able to access your precious Albums from an external device, and this would be really frustrating…Unfortunately, there are also products that adopt this bizarre method of proprietary data management, but in our case, don't worry: this DOESN'T HAPPEN with CocktailAudio systems!

Burning Compact Disc Audio

Create your own song compilations and burn them to CD-R

liquid-music-cocktail-hifi-audio-300x1

The Cocktail Audio X50D allows you to burn your albums and collections of music files to optical CD-R media without having to use a computer. This is another feature that makes the Cocktail Audio X50 Music Server absolutely unique in the current panorama.

You can select the tracks you want to burn, or an entire album, insert a blank optical medium into the mechanism, and by pressing a button you will start the disc burning process. Really that simple!

In this way, you will be able to export the music of your interest by creating a Compact Disc Audio, which you can listen to in any CD Player, even in the car!

Naturally, in addition to the direct CD-R burning function, the Cocktail Audio X50D also allows you to export your albums and music tracks to external USB-type mass storage devices, such as pen drives and hard disks. Thanks to the presence of two USB ports 3.0 ultra-high speed, the file copy time will be very fast. Using the 3 available USB ports (2 of the USB 3.0 type, 1 of the USB 2.0 type), you can either export entire albums or individual songs, or import them into the MusicDB database.
CocktailAUDIO X50D is the Music Server that allows both listening to liquid music and managing liquid music, in perfect autonomy from an external computer!
