RIP/ENCODE CONTROL PANEL

The M50 transport can rip directly a loaded CD to a connected M52
Digital Music Vault or USB mass storage device. Using NAD's own music
management software, ripping is completely automatic. With a network
connection to the Internet, this music management software fetches
metadata and cover art, without the need for a computer! Everything is
organized and instantly available for playback. You can browse your music
collection using album art or category listing and easily create playlists on
the fly.
