What is a Music Manager?
A Music Manager is an advanced CD player/recorder and digital music server that makes it easy for you to access and enjoy all of your music through an intuitive on-screen music program guide. Music Managers can store tens of thousands of songs, manage CDs in external changers, and allow you to listen to hundreds of free Internet Radio stations. Music Managers include powerful and intuitive features for every music fan such as instant access to any song in your collection, automatic CD recognition and ripping, and the ability to create your own mix discs. If you love music you're going to love what an Escient Music Manager can do for you.

Play it Now Browse, locate, and play any artist, album, or song in your entire music collection without leaving your favorite chair. No more searching for that elusive disc you might have left in your car, loaned to a friend, or even lost on your last trip.

Visual Music Hear and See what’s playing. The on-screen graphical user interface provides full color album cover art along with information for every artist, album, and song in your collection.

It Just Works Insert a CD into the built-in CD player and the Escient Music Manager does the rest, by downloading the artist name, album name, song list and cover art using your existing Internet connection all while ripping each song to the internal hard drive at lightening speeds. When it’s done, the disc is ejected and you’re ready to insert another, and another, and another…

Discover Music You Didn’t Even Know You Had With all of your music centrally located, you will discover old gems and new favorites that you didn’t even know you had. Create your own Favorites Playlist with the press of a button or randomly play your entire collection. It could take several weeks before you hear the same song twice!

No Typing Required Gracenote CDDB®, the world's largest online database of CD data provides all of the information. Each disc is scanned then all the information is downloaded from the Internet including: artist name, album name, track names, running time, and even the CD jacket cover art! You don't have to type a thing!

MP3 or CD Quality Audio The internal hard drive stores safe digital copies of all your music in either standard mp3 format for the most compatibility between other music devices or true CD quality for exact bit-for-bit copies of your original CDs. FireBall-PC even allows you to use your computer's hard drive for more storage.

Free Internet Radio Along with managing all of your digital music files and CDs, all Escient Music Managers provide access to free high quality Internet Radio stations accessible over your existing broadband Internet connection.

Efficient Storage Store hundreds of CDs in the space of just a few CD cases. Imagine all of the free space you’ll have in your bookshelves or entertainment center!

Expandable Connect two FireBall Music Managers together over a standard network to share the music, double the storage capacity, and create a second music zone or add external CD changers to store up to 1200 more CDs.

Easy to Install Escient FireBall Music Managers connect to your receiver or TV just like a DVD player using standard analog or digital connections.
