The UK’s first ever touchscreen music player which connects easily to the iPod has been announced.

The MPZ Player allows you to upload tracks and playlists to the iPod and download from the iPod to the MPZ.

A massive 50,000 songs cab be stored on the device and then organised using a state-of-the-art touchscreen computer.

The system, which will retail for £1,899, gives people the ability to select and play tracks and create their own play lists of their favourite music.

The system, which has been created by RedTen Audio, allows people to listen to different tracks at the same time in up to three different rooms in the home.

Trevor Bond, director of RedTen Audio, said: “The iPod is the hottest gadget around at the moment and having the MPZ Player in the home would complement it perfectly.

“The system connects easily to the iPod allowing tracks and full playlists to be uploaded and downloaded in a matter of minutes.”

RedTen Audio will be selling the MPZ Player direct but is also aiming the product at leading department stores and specialist music suppliers
