MusicGiants is a premium online
distribution service that features lossless and near-lossless file quality. Of course, so does the quasi-legal
AllofMP3.com, but let's not go down that route.
MusicGiants provides a glossy
computer client, which, when running to a home theater system, furnishes a sort of "Music for Rich Dummies"
experience. MusicGiants is for audiophiles who don't want to rip and burn, and for whom portability and file-size
convenience are less important than great sound quality.
As such, MusicGiants is really best
suited to non-computer deployment. That seems to be the thinking behind the new alliance between the service and the
iHome MultiCenter media server from
Audio Design Associates. (
PDF brochureware here.) I've got to say,
though, that this rack-mounted device looks like pro studio gear, and is definitely not designed for bookshelf
placement. I'm uncertain Whether MusicGiants has found a perfect partnering match here. [via e-mailed contact]
1. This alliance will benefit both the companies but I think it will benefit the users more. There are many users who care for sound quality more than portablility and file size. MusicGiants may be the thing they wish for.
