Never heard of it, and I would imagine most of the people who care
haven't either. You can get full quality music on CD already with no
restrictions.

No, but no one will care until it's the standard format for movies,
just like no one cared about DVD at first. If you insist on trying to
use bleeding edge stuff, you're going to be the one bleeding, and I
don't have an sympathy for you. It's just like people who buy the
latest nvidia/ati crap when they're using linux and whine that it's
not supported well. It's not useful for anything they want to do
anyway so they should get a g400 and wait a few years til the new
thing is cheap and reverse-engineered well.
