IMERGE TEAMS WITH SEAGATE WITH NEW S1000 SOUNDSERVER

IMERGE, Europe’s leading hard disc-based media appliance technology provider, have chosen Seagate Technology as the sole supplier of hard drives for their new S1000 SoundServer.
The S1000 lets users conveniently organize their entire music collections and, unlike CD jukeboxes, any music track can be found and played instantly. In the latest addition to the SoundServer range, an S1000 with an 80-Gbyte Seagate hard drive is now available in addition to the existing S1000 featuring a 40-Gbyte capacity. Seagate's hard drive lets the S1000 record and access over 1,400 hours of music in MP3 format and play it back through conventional music systems, using standard remote controls. The S1000 SoundServer can be seen and heard in action at IFA in Berlin from August 25 through September 2.
The S1000 is easy to operate with a new TV interface that lets the consumer record or play music – and even edit information in their music database – using a remote control from the comfort of their armchair. CDs are recorded onto the Seagate hard drive faster than real time, and the S1000 automatically connects to the Internet to give users track listing information.
