(I was about to say something snarky about the name Commodore evoking tinny bleeps and bloops rather than high-quality music, but the only Commodore computer I ever owned myself was the Amiga, and it was an amazing audio machine for its era.)"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/commodore_logo.gif" /><br /><br />Uh..ok. I don't undestand what the heck this service is about. According the system requirements listed on CommodoreWorld's site, you need a Pentium PC running Windows in order to download and playback music. So where does Commodore fit into all this? :?

Last I heard, somebody was using the Commodore name to sell MP3 players...
Sony is obviously not the only Apple wannabe out there.

duuude.. commodore is the digital audio king! I remember downloading demos for my 64 that looped a couple seconds of sampled music. ^^ Some demos got creative with repeating segaments (and lowered sample quality) and belted out a full song. The best ones I heard were madonnas vogue, and MC hammers hammer time.
