Hey guys. Having some popcorn while watching digital video files from an enclosure that looks like a piano? Cool. Thanks for getting your hair all put together, too. Lookin’ good my main man. You too, other guy.
Chinavasion offers the “Mozart HDD Enclosure” for $68. It’s called the Mozart because it looks like a piano, although the similarities between this digital media player and one of the greatest composers in the history of music end there.
The enclosure houses a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive inside “a simple battery type slide off cover” and can also read USB flash drives and external hard drives as well. The unit will work as a time-shifting DVR thanks to video inputs, recording content as MPEG-2 files.
Supported playback formats include DivX, AVI, MPEG, RMVB, VOB, XviD, and RealMedia and output is handled via HDMI or composite cables with resolutions up to 1080i.

I still don’t understand all these devices that only do part of what a laptop can do.
I not really clear as to the full function of this thing. Is is sort of like TiVO for people that can’t get TiVO?
Does it record from the TV or whatever is playing on the TV? or is it simply a video/audio file player that connects to an HDTV?
Hmm..
It records, yes.
The product page says that it’s like TiVo. But it doesn’t have a guide like TiVo and you can’t do Season Pass programs or anything like that. Basically, you set the thing up between the output of your cable box and the input of your TV and record stuff that way.
I’ve been trying to learn to play the piano. I have a casio keyboard. Is that good enough to learn on or should i try to find something better?
I really want to learn how to play the piano, but I only have an old Casio keyboard. Is that good enough to learn on? Where do you suggest I start?
Does anyone know if this has quality on the recording and then playing back those recordings functions? I’ve tried another non-tivo DVR that produced some noise distortion into the picture.
These device are easy to use if there is someone for instruction… just do regular practice.
