 For real? Strange that I've heard nothing about it!

 I've long seen a need for such a music-on-demand system, though. It's real
 advantage, for me, would be that it would give the record companies a cost
 effective means of distributing low-demand music, music that normally would
 be out-of-print.

 Judging by your description of the hardware, it sounds like you saw it in a
 science-fiction movie..  ;-) It seems beyond the current state-of-the-art in
 data storage!  Shouldn't take long to get to that point, but unless there's
 been a breakthrough of which I'm unaware, we ain't there yet!
