Introduction Market Data Compact
I have been watching this company over the last year. According to the article link posted at the bottom of this message, the IPO should happen early July of 99. Looks like the target IPO figure will be set at $14 a share. I do not know what the ticker symbol.

Basically user's can create custom CD-ROMS, picking the songs they want from the company's Web site. During my web visit, I put together a CD of 12 songs. The cost equated to about $20 not including the shipping of $2.95. Very well construsted web page. As expected, there are various methods to search for music. You can hear the music clip online as well.
