I agree on both counts...

The old demo tune that was shipped with the Mk1 sounded a bit muffled (Although I play it from time to time anyway =).
However, with artists on MP3.com and other places looking to establish themselves you could get a better quality mp3 than 128kps off them... =)
I know my mate would jump at the chance (quick plug) http://www.mp3.com/shapechanger

As to the styles of music, you could put a range on there, as a demo of how powerful the playlist functions are etc. The music could be selected by the music site themselves, so empeg wouldn't have to.

Anyway, I'm sure empeg will have decided if they are shipping music on it and we will find out in time what it is... =)
