Overview

The VIA!dj family of Digital Music Servers from ELAN are digital audio storage and music management systems that give you instant access to all your music from any VIA!® Touch Panel or television in the home. View the cover art of all your CDs as well as album titles, artists and songs. Select music by artist, CD, track, genre or an unlimited number of personalized playlists. Colorful, user-friendly graphics make navigating through your music collection fast, easy and fun.

Performance Features

With four discrete pairs of audio outputs, having one VIA!dj is like having four separate mega CD changers—each one capable of independently playing any song from your entire music collection—instantly, from any room.

Updated for 2005, the VIA!dj now has a Digital Jukebox feature that allows you to create a song list from your music collection which will play in the order you entered them. In the tradition of the classic American jukebox, just add as many songs as you like to the Jukebox list and let ‘em play! Also new, the dj can now rip CDs at 20x real-time speed from its front CD tray. Now you can add new music to the dj’s hard drive faster than ever before! It is now also possible to easily transfer music from the VIA!dj to portable digital music players, such as the Apple® iPod™, (using a PC) when you want to take your music on the move.

Design Features

VIA!dj navigation is easy and intuitive with the large, full-color graphics displayed on VIA! Touch Panels. View the cover art of each CD. Select the music you want to listen to by artist name, CD title or song title, or select entire genres. Make your own play lists. Play back any CD, playlist or genre randomly or sequentially—do it all from anywhere you have a VIA! Touch Panel.

Four pairs of analog audio outputs allow you to listen to different tracks in different rooms simultaneously. The dj also features a digital audio output that allows you to share one of the analog outputs with a home theater.

The VIA!dj has a built-in modem which dials up on-line music information services and automatically downloads cover art and song lists. Data can also be downloaded using a DSL or cable modem connection through a home network. MP3 audio can be recorded in this fashion and added to your music collection.
