Enjoy your digital music to the max...
This is all about getting music, conveniently and at high quality, anywhere,
anytime you want it.
The concept
Advanced Audio Architecture, also known as 3A (pronounced as 'triple
A'), is a concept for listening to digital
music. 3A is server based architecture to publish, manage and distribute
digital music through streaming and download to multiple, different type
of clients including dedicated hardware and portable audio players while
achieving the highest possible level of reproduction (high end) and the
most flexible and versatile system thinkable. 3A eliminates all the problems
with traditional rip-encode-tag-listen schemes.
For who is it intended?
Basically, the music comes from your own library of digitalised music
on a computer of your own.
So this is for those who:
- have invested in a large collection of CD's
- like to listen to their music through a computer
- have a high end audio setup available and are listening
without compromise
The benefits
The 3A concept brings you the
following benefits:
- Have music from your complete CD collection one click away
- Rip once (and once really means once) to a lossless
audio file, not a single audio bit is lost!
- Preserve all your investment in perfectioning tag information for
artists, albums, songs, etc.
- Automatic transcoding to lossy
audio files for your portable
audio player, even when re-ripping or re-tagging
- No endless thinking about the right format (mp3, ogg, etc.) and quality
level (bit rate) of your lossy audio files;
just change your preference, and re-transcoding will take place on-the-fly
with no interaction needed
- Music files are always available for any media player because storage
takes place on a dedicated server
- Storage capacity is limited only by your budget, a 1000 CD's or more
isn't much of a problem
- Audio files can and will be secured by (automatic) backups
- Stream music directly and wireless to your audio equipment with dedicated
hardware: Squeezebox
- Listen from any Windows or Linux PC with zero-install streaming software:
SoftSqueeze
- Listen to music with your favorite music software like iTunes, WinAmp
or Rhythmbox (Linux)
- Listen without compromise: make use of an external
digital/analog converter and move into high
end regions
- Audio server can also be used as a file server for storing your photo's,
documents, etc. in a central place
