Dunno. But all the "earmarks" are there for the encoded pay-to-play
scheme. CDDB is eerie: it was able to instanteously (in one second)
identify and label all the tracks on CDs that I was ripping to MP3. Can it
possibly be able to do this based only on song-lengths? I foresee record
companies selling only individual licenses-to-listen and not having to
provide/distribute physical product. Napster just got us used to the idea
of 'making' our own product that we'll have to pay to listen-to. <shudder>
