Another Great Entrepreneurial Idea II

Netflix. YouTube. Now I am not the most technologically up to date ( basically I am a techie on a Luddite budget) but it seems like there's a missing piece there. Color me Steve Jobs but where is the song sending program? If you have the right equipment you can download it, record it, copy it or buy it-why not be able to send it? Yes, there is always a mix CD-that is absolutely the best gift in my universe, especially when it comes with prodigious liner notes but I'm thinking of the song more as an aural greeting card. Kind of like if you were in the record store and could grab somebody by the wrist, drag them to the listening station and clamp the headphones over their ears. Then they'd start to dance and talk too loudly cause they had the headphones on and it would be a great moment.

Sometimes it needs to happen that fast.

When I hear that Carrie & Thor have set the date I wanna send them the Cowboy Junkies' "Anniversary Song" ("but I'll trade it all/for a cup of coffee and a wedding ring") without actually having to burn a CD or calling and saying "Do you have any Cowboy Junkies? Play Track 2! From me!"

And yes, I know there are greeting cards with little chips in them that actually play a song, their commercials are very cute, but the odds of me needing to send a someone I know "Wild Thing" are well, remote. Now if they had my choice of artist, no matter how obscure, then you'd be talking. But that's kind of where my thought train gets derailed. I think e-mail? Old school listening booths? and my brain starts to spin.

So if one of you inventor types could get on that for us all, that'd be great. I kinda have one in mind so...yeah, lemme know when you're done. Thanks!
