Considering how bad that Microsoft Songsmith ad was (we almost thought it was a fake), we didn't have high hopes for the product itself. And as usual, our low expectations were met, because the product is terrible. It's meant to generate musical accompaniment to match one's voice; these YouTube videos show the results of classic songs being fed into the program, with less than impressive results. (The machine must pass the sounds through its intestinal tract to produce what we hear.)
