It will be interesting to find out if they go with the Fireball or the Central, or both?

I don't like it. Something seems wrong about this news. I'm not sure what it is, but I don't think it's a good thing for empeg Ltd.

Good luck working with these guys anyway. Their product seems more like a kit than the Central for some reason. Perhaps it's because I have seen so many of those types of devices (usually for hella-high prices). Something like the Fireball must not be too hard to hack together.

I wasn't going to say anything at first, but I share your skepticism, and your hopes that said skepticism is unwarranted.

Aren't they the weasels that absconded with the contributed data in the CDDB and played not-nice with it?

That's Gracenote.

I believe OpenGlobe may have been associated with them at one time.

I didn't know original CDDB was dead. The hashing scheme sucked, anyway.
