Introduction
I remember my first epiphany in digital playback
convenience when I purchased a CD changer
nearly 20 years ago. I was the cool kid on the
block serving up labeled and categorized 6 disc
magazine cartridges like they were going out of
style. Pop one in, hit random, and you’ve got
nearly 5 hours of music playback for up to a half
dozen of your favorite artists. Little did I know, I
was taking a mere baby step in music distribution.
Welcome to the 21st century where science
strives to make bigger and better tomatoes and
the audio industry presses on to win over your
hard earned dollars on the latest and greatest
technological “must have” advancement.
Enter Yamaha’s MusicCAST MCX-2000
Digital Audio Server. Yamaha’s successor to the
previously reviewed by our own Clint
DeBoer.
Some of the major added features of the
MCX-2000 compared to its predecessor (MCX-
1000) include:
• Larger Hard drive storage space (up to
160GB from 80GB)
• Integration of FM tuner and XM radio
functionality
• Networking capability to play content from
other computers’ internal network
Set-Up
Setting up the MCX-2000 couldn’t be any
easier. Gone is the hassle of running 3rd party
software on a PC to copy CDs. Enter the era of
convenience with a single front panel push button
labeled “CD AUTO STORE”. Finally, someone
developed a music storage system that doesn’t

• Internet radio support
• Support for a larger client network with up
to 15 simultaneous clients (5 wireless)
According to Yamaha, they wanted to
incorporate many of the recommended features
their customers were asking for such as a
larger hard drive. With 160GB of storage, the
MusicCAST MCX-2000 now has the capability
of storing up to 60,000 songs. MusicCAST also
now incorporates an FM tuner and has XM-ready
features. They also added local area network
(LAN) compatibility for use to stream and play
content from other computers via an internal
network (now you can use all those MP3s you
downloaded and paid for). Finally, Yamaha added
Internet radio support to offer users greater
flexibility and almost endless choices for their
streaming content.
