Sorry to interrupt this list, but MP3.com would like to amend its last
message regarding our Free CD offer!  We realize we have made a mistake
in the following passage:

> Thanks for visiting MP3.com.  We thought you'd like to get
> in on a free CD packed with 103 of the best songs you've
> never heard: http://mp3.com/freecd  We've selected the hottest
> tracks from MP3.com artists, put them together on one free CD,
> and added a whole lot more:
> 
> The new release of MusicMatch MP3 Software
> Exclusive Internet offers
> A groovy "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" Preview
> A new video from Seal
> Plus a chance to win a Free Kenwood Stereo!

This should instead read this way:

> Thanks for increasing MP3.com's cred in the mass media.  We 
> thought you'd like to get a share of our current business 
> orientation and see what it really feels like to get Silicon

> Oh, and as a bonus, this free CD comes packed with 103 of
