JVC UX-HD1-M mini system with 40GB disk and Ethernet
The Songcube was a bookshelf system we wrote about a while back with a built-in hard drive. JVC has announced their version of it, the UX-HD1-M shelf system with a 4.3-inch color LCD and 2 x 20 watt speakers. The 40GB internal drive allows you to rip CDs into PCM/ATRAC/MP3 formats, while CDDB look-ups over the included Ethernet ensures the files are properly tagged.

In fact, the UX-HD1-M allows you to hit the Sony (and JVC Victor co-sponsored) ANYMUSIC service direct so our Japanese brethren can purchase and download music straight to the disk. And with DLNA support, you can even stream your MP3s off your PC’s disk.
A USB port is located on the front so you can conveniently hook up your portable digital audio device. As of now, it will only be available in Japan within the next month and no pricing has been set yet.
