I don't know if I believe this one, but it'd be pretty cool if it's real. Check out the Musit, a new digital music device that has a "continuous satellite Web link that allows for continual downloading of millions of songs in MP3 format. The Musit will allows you to enter in a song or album title, download, and play it almost instantly. With a patented high-speed wireless link to the Web, the Musit will download songs at an amazing rate of over 1MB per minute." It comes with a stylus and supposedly recognizes handwriting for input of song titles. All for under $200. (Note that the site requires Flash.) [via Mempool] Hmmmmm....... I'll believe it when I see it, but someday, this type of device and service will be commonplace. For those of you that have heard me talk about the "heavenly jukebox" of content, this is one way it might look. 10:38:25 PM

Copy-protected CDs Slide into Stores "Israeli security company Midbar said Tuesday that it has released more than 10 million copy-protected CDs in the United States and Europe, highlighting the company's ongoing endeavor to combat digital piracy. " [at News.com] And tick off the record companies' customers. There hasn't been much I've wanted to buy lately, now even more so. Watch those CDs you're buying for your libraries, as you'll have to look closely for the identifying labels. 9:09:07 PM
