As all you cutegeek fans know we are giving away this cool product named the Olive Opus 4 Hi-FI Music Server.  I received a Olive Opus 4 Hi Fi Music Server eval unit so I could let you all know what you may have a chance to win. See my youtube unboxing here. 

 The set up for the Olive Opus 4 Hi Fi Music Server was pretty simple; plug in AC adaptor, connect your speakers and screw in antenna for wireless connection.  As soon as I turned it on I played with the touch screen. I just love touch screens and think every product should have one!  I also loved that the color LCD touch screen was just large enough (4.3″ wide aspect ratio and 480 x 272 pixels) to navigate through all the functions (plus I am blind as a bat so it was a nice display).

Once powered up and you set up your wireless connection you have 4 options to choose from: Music Library, Music Sources, Internet Radio, and Settings (besides inserting a CD and listening to it directly).   Automatically I had access to several internetstations. Unfortunately I have a slow wireless connection in my condo (internet service shall remain nameless for I do not want it to get worse, LOL) so I was not able to get ALL the channels.  However, it was a great selection of channels especially my fav…hip hop (Def Jams was my favorite channel to date)! 

I then tested out connecting to several PCs in my home wirelessly and was able to access all of them.  It was nice to access music from the different technology devices in my condo using The Olive Opus 4 Hi Fi Music Server. Next I inserted a CD and once it was inserted the CD’s artist and album name appeared on the screen (John Legend because he is awesome) along with playing and importing options. I chose to import the CD to see how long it took and how it worked. With a quick click my CD started to import and also had a cool import status option so you can see how long it will take. See picture below.

After importing the CD was complete I had to test it out (also a great reason to play my man John Legend extra loud). It was pretty simple from the main screen you just select music library and the album you want to listen to and SHAZZAM the music began. The sound quality was amazing; they weren’t joking about comparing it to Hi Fi sound.

If I had more time to play with this server I would have a dowload party to test out how many of my CD’s I could store on the hard drive. However that may have taken months for me!  All in all the Olive Opus 4 Hi Fi Music Server is a neat product and I am excited one of our fans will win it! Don’t forget to apply for the contest so you too can win this cool product! Below is a list from the Olive website of the Olive Opus 4 Hi Fi Music Server Specs.
