The five biggest digital audio duds of 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| Songsmith. The idea wasn't all that bad.
| Karaoke is fun. Making music on computers is
| fun. So why not, reasoned some Microsoft
| researchers, create a program that fills in
| audio accompaniment as users sing.
| Unfortunately, the $29.95 price and
| unbelievably mockable promotional video
| turned Songsmith into an Internet
| laughingstock. Later videos featuring
| Songsmith's accompaniment to the vocal tracks
| of songs like Queen's "We Will Rock You" and
| Van Halen's "Running With the Devil"
| highlighted the silliness.
