Sounds attractive

The Recording Industry Association of Japan is testing a system for sampling
music in record shops. Customers pick up a copy of the CD they want to hear and
run the bar code on the cover past a laser scanner. The information passes to a
computer which stores around 6000 albums or 60 000 songs. The music from the CD
of your choice will then play through headphones. The system is on test until
March in selected music shops in Japan. If it is successful, the number of songs
will be increased to the equivalent of 10 000 CDs.
