I think this will revolutionize the way people deal with music, at least on their computers.  
I stumbled onto this link from the Tom’s Hardware site.  
I plan on giving it a shot when I get home tonite.

Forgot to add, this apears to be the only downside, albeit a huge one for some people but not a big deal to me;  
\*\*Can I just search and find any song on the Mercora Network?  
No. Mercora behaves like radio, so you can only get access to music that is currently being broadcast on the network (just like radio). Furthermore, you cannot search for specific sound recordings (songs), even if they are currently being broadcast. \*\*
