In 1998 some companies released these goofy untenable devices for playing music that the user had to process files for on a computer, which very few people owned. Some lunatics thought that they might make money transferring processed files over phone lines - if you can believe that.
Naturally this stupid "Digital music" idea died the natural death everyone knew it would.
Few people today even remember that MP3 thing, thus idiots keep treading down that same path, all unawares...
