It might look like something you’d have taken on that cruise around the globe at the start of the last century, and that’s probably the point.

As CD stands go, this one certainly takes some beating, not only because it boasts an integrated, high-end Bang & Olufsen Beosound 3000 CD/audio player and a pair of BeoLab 3 speakers capable of squeezing out 250Watts. The design combines that cruise trunk chic with an old library card filing system for your CDs.

The leather and chrome clad Soprano Trunk features 24 drawers that will hold 480 CDs and you can choose from 51 different coloured leather finishes. Just forget traveling with it since it weighs in at a weighty 220lbs. Jump now for more pics.-Martin Lynch

All new players will come with a week’s subscription to the fee-based system which will cost £14.99 a month for as many downloads as you like. Single tracks will cost 79p.-Martin Lynch
