I'll bet Douglas Adams hit the nail on the head when he predicted musical
data representation.  It sounds like the IDEAL hype form of relation that
means nothing to us now but could be learned if we listened to some
huckster that was attempting to pan it off as the ultimate way to
comprehend large data bases.  With the growing trend for better sound
generation a la Apple, it would be a simple programmimg/salesmanship
progression.

And you heard it here second, folks...
