`
`HEADLINE: Audio/digital interface for the IBM PC?
`
`BYLINE: David Needle
`
`BODY:
`Among the new products to be previewed at the Consumer Electronics Show this month will be a digital / audio
`disk player that uses a new 3.3-megabyte floppy drive to store music in digital form. The player will cost $1,000. The
`company behind the product, CompuSonic, says it also has developed a software interface for its new CompuSonic
`DS-1000 system that will allow the user to route music through the IBM PC. The user will supposedly be able to edit
`the music by using the computer's keyboard as a mixer. The firm is also looking at potential electronic distribution of
`music whereby you would be able to download music onto your PC in the same manner as other digital information.
`The CompuSonic system has a built-in communications device that receives information via an existing phone line.
