Dark Side Of The Moon Get Surround Sound Treatment
With the birth of 5.1 surround sound it was only a matter of time before the most famous earphone headtrip ever, Pink Floyd’s massive-selling album Dark Side Of The Moon, got its test run on the new format. Now, come March 4, for what will be the 30th anniversary of the prog-rockers’ greatest legacy, mushroomheads across the country will be uttering the words "It’s like I’m inside the music" as they hear the opening clock symphony of "Time" ring from every corner of their room.

Apple silences iTunes P2P software
Apple Computer has forced a developer to stop distributing a plug-in that turned its iTunes music player into peer-to-peer music-sharing software. The plug-in, called iCommune, allowed iTunes users to browse the music libraries of other Macintoshes over a network and stream or download music from them.
On Wednesday, Apple notified developer James Speth that he was violating the terms of his software agreement and ordered him to stop distributing the plug-in and to return Apple's development tools. Speth removed the iCommune download from his Web site.

But meet Matt Warne. He has an interesting tale to tell.
