We think that you are going to love this idea. That’s why we are here – at Kickstarter, together with you, to make our dream comes true. With your help, we can deliver you this amazing Networked Media Jukebox that can boast greater detail and texture of the original performance. We believe that you’ll surely enjoy playing it for decades. We’re absolutely thrilled to be here and we hope that you’ll join us by pledging us!
