The latest uRempee3 audio player manufactured by Teenage Vegetables, LLC is changing what people are listening to.
Literally.
It seems the new iEarIT chip in the current line of players has a mind of its own. iEarIT is supposed to listen to song lyrics you are listening to so it can recommend other audio presentations you might like such as other music, books, news reports, podcasts, radio stations and so on. It does this job well most of the time but some owners have complained that the player sometimes changes the lyrics to songs it finds objectionable then recommends things that it finds falls in line with the lyric changes.
Teenage Vegetables says it's not a problem and that owners are just so used to getting the song lyrics wrong that they aren't prepared for the recommendations being made by the player. But, that does not explain the recommendations that come from opera or Broadway show tunes.
Naught Watched suggests buying an audio player that has less bells and whistles, a Zune perhaps.
