Welcome to Qsonix, an exciting new digital music management system. The Qsonix Q100 has been
designed to make loading, organizing and playing your CD music collection a pleasurable experience.
Qsonix allows you to quickly and easily load your CD collection directly to the internal hard drives of
the system. Using its unique AlbumBrowser™ interface, Qsonix displays detailed information about
each of your CDs, including the CD cover art. Qsonix supports a variety of compression quality
options including CD Quality Lossless Compression. Lossless Compression significantly reduces the
storage space required to rip CDs while still maintaining CD quality, making it possible to use Qsonix
to store a library of hundreds of CDs on a single hard drive.
Qsonix also includes many other unique high-quality features, such as the user controllable
SoftFade™ engine that delivers incredibly smooth cross-fading and soft volume transitions on all
transport functions such as Play, Stop, Pause and Mute. Qsonix’s user interface has been carefully
designed to take the work out of browsing your music, and building custom playlists using simple
drag-and-drop operations with the Q100’s integrated touchscreen controller.
