Digital Music Systems

Recent years have brought big changes in the way that people acquire and play recorded music. CDs are giving way to music purchased online or streamed over the internet, and players can now be smartphones, PMPs, tablets, or computers. In this environment, music lovers are in the unfamiliar position of shopping for digital music systems that can integrate today's varied audio sources.

If you're checking out digital music systems, keep in mind these key criteria:

• Sound quality. Despite all the changes in how music is distributed and played, the ultimate test of any digital audio dock is the same as it's always been for home audio systems – how good does it sound? This is an especially important criteria at a time when lots of manufacturers, with varying degrees of audio technology experience, are jumping into the digital music systems market.
• Versatility. Recorded music these days can be played from a variety of players, in a variety of formats, and transmitted wirelessly or through wired connections. Digital music systems differ in how versatile they are. Look for a digital music dock that's compatible with a wide variety of players and formats so that it serves your needs not just today but also a couple years down the road.
• Bonus features. Sound quality and versatility are the most important criteria when shopping for digital music systems. Beyond that you're looking for icing on the cake. How good does the system look, and what kind of other cool features does it have?
