Look!
…It’s a record player!
No!… It’s a CD player!
No!… It’s a recorder!
No!… It’s the Zero.1!
From Yankodesign’s website:
“Self-confessed retro lover is here to tell you about this remarkable find! Bringing a modern-day charm to the long-forgotten LP player is the Zero. 1. It’s a CD Player that can also play the vinyl records. What’s really unique is that a system has been incorporated where the device is able to “read” the gaps between the tracks, memorize them, and make it selectable, quite like how you would do with a CD.
The modern-day advantages include a CD system with an auto-recording feature that will hold a terabyte of memory. Files supported include MP3, MP4, WAV etc. It’s been originally designed for the Italian company Brionvega.
The remote control, me on the rocking chair and Genesis on the Zero. 1 and I am set for the moment!”
Now I just have to hope the Zero.1 makes it to the market. I wonder if it uses a laser or a needle to read the record? A laser would be awesome. Either way, auto recording and track-selecting on LP records would be pretty slick. Hey, it’s 2009! This is the type of technology we should expect for LP’s given how long we’ve been spinning em’!
Zero.1: Designer, Francesco Cugusi & Roberto Strippoli
Cheers towards Dance To The Radio for putting this on my radar.
