Philips has taken the wraps off two new stylish hi-fi systems that comfortably bridge CD and digital music content.

As well as being able to handle regular CDs, both of the Philips Bluetooth Wireless Music Systems can handle MP3 and WMA tunes on burned CDs while also being able to playback streamed music via Bluetooth. The BTM630 [pictured], which also sports a dedicated iPod dock, can even play tracks from SD and MMC cards and both systems have USB ports for attaching portable devices.

Both offer one touch MP3 digital recording in 2x speed and CD ripping without the need for a computer. Another cute touch is the internal Duplex speaker phone with in-built microphone and caller-ID display that let’s you switch from listening to music to taking a phone call.

The BTM630 and BTM628 arrive in the US first in August and September, respectively, and will cost £100. Jump now for a photo of the fashionably thin BTM628.-Martin Lynch
