Computers seem to be facing competition from their little cousins. Philips today announced the launch of India s first and only Rip-All AZ1856 Sound Machine. With this music deck, which is claimed to be designed exclusively for the Indian market, users can convert their favorite CDs and cassettes to MP3 music at the touch of a button.

Elaborating on the Philips Rip-All AZ1856 Sound machine, Gunjan Srivastava, Director - Consumer Electronics Division, Philips Electronics India, said: Philips is always committed to creating customer-centric innovations. The audio cassette has been a part of Indian music culture for over 40 years. Although Indian consumers have always been ardent music listeners, the reign of the cassettes seems to have come to an end with the advent of MP3 playability.

Hence we have introduced the first of its kind Rip-All sound machine that provides the option of ripping music from cassettes, CD and FM Radio into MP3. The same can be downloaded and played back through a USB flash drive or MP3 player. Music lovers no longer run the risk of losing songs. Now preserving old music from your favorite cassette, or a song from the radio, is just a single touch away.

The Philips Rip-All AZ1856 CD Sound machine is now available in India at all leading consumer electronics outlets and exclusive Philips ARENA showrooms for Rs 4999.
