A great way to store and playback your CD collection; no monitor, keyboard or mouse required! Just add a stack of CDs, a smartphone or tablet and connect to your HiFi system for the full effect.

What is AudioGlu?

The AudioGlu is a simple to use, small, attractive, silent running, audiophile music player and server. It integrates into your existing HiFi system and replaces your CD player. From the comfort of your armchair, enjoy the convenience of storing and accessing up to 6000 CD’s (with the higher capacity option) on a dedicated appliance. Instantly accessible via an iPad app or other mobile device, you can browse your collection, create playlists, view artwork and much more. All you need to do to get started is to plug it into your home network, download the appropriate app onto your iPad (mobile phone, tablet or pc), plug in your DAC and switch on.

Nothing to configure

Insert a CD in the slot and it is automatically ripped and tagged into a lossless FLAC file. In order to ensure that an exact copy has been made, the CD is read multiple times until identical consecutive results are obtained. Plug in a USB DAC and it will be automatically configured. Play files with sample rates up to 24-bit/192kHz using the standard Class 2 USB audio for optimum quality. Use the MPaD or MPoD apps as remote controllers and they will automatically discover the AudioGlu server. Automatically backup your music collection by plugging in a USB hard drive.
