Linn Products is set to launch its most advanced software to date for its range of Linn DS players. Linn Cara, a new family of software, enriches the way Linn DS owners interact with their music collection and lets them do more than ever before.

A new, simple user interface, KinskyDesktop, provides a Linn control solution that lets Linn DS owners browse their music by Album Cover Art, save playlists on their individual computers for later use and listen to new content including iTunes music files (AAC and ALAC) and radio podcasts. A new plugin feature provides an easy method of browsing and downloading new sources of content online as they become available, such as BBC radio podcasts and Internet radio.

KinskyDesktop also lets owners play all of their music for as long as they like in a random order using the 'shuffle' function, whilst KinskyJukebox lets them pre-set their favorite songs, artists, genres or radio stations by specific numbers for a quick, personalized method of selection.

A new web-based configuration makes setting up your Linn DS system easier than ever, letting you configure your Linn DS from any browser on the network.

Linn DS players have changed the way that music lovers access and manage their music. With music securely stored in an external network storage device, Linn DS players access and play back music files at optimum audio quality. Linn DS owners can also enjoy Studio Master quality sound - a new, breakthrough level of audio performance that customers are just enjoying for the first time. Recognized as the future of music, a wide range of Linn DS Players are available: Klimax DS, Akurate DS, Majik DS and Sneaky Music DS.
