The In Sound From Way Out
WHILE DIGITAL MUSIC PLAYERS continue to shrink, it's prudent to pause and remember the benefits that size confers. As big as a standard stereo component, Olive's Opus No. 5 by Karim Rashid ($4,000, olive.us) has enough room inside to include a giant 750-gigabyte hard drive and a disc reader for ripping CDs. Most digital players use the compressed MP3 format to save space, but this one can hold 2,200 CDs in uncompressed form, so you hear your music's every nuance.
