"Who wants to rip tracks? That’s so time consuming, and you need dedicated staff to rip individual tracks. The D Star Play MPE system is far easier. Just select the tracks you want and download them direct to your hard drive while you do something else. And you get just the music that’s right for you – another time saver. "
