I have an old Compaq iPaq Jukebox from, say, 2000, what still runs like a champ. It's basically the same as this Musica dealie, which is to say it has a CD/DVD ripper, can stream audio—the Jukebox's audio streaming was pretty primitive,though—and it stores music onto a hard disk. The Musica, unlike the beastly Jukebox, looks super cool and has a red-hot LCD and a 160GB hard drive, which makes me think that I might need to trade up on pretty soon.

Priced at $1,099, the Musica looks like a pretty interesting bridge between the PC and the home theatre.
