So what's the appeal of 8-bit music? I don't get it.

Awful rapping + Nintendo songs. Proving once again that familiarity trumps quality.

Sharp, clean sounds with a bit of nostalgia. It appeals to a certain demographic; if it's not for you, then so it goes.

Gonna check this at home. I was really willing to change the songs on my MP3 player anyway.

Y'all should watch this video : http://www.vimeo.com/3734864 . It's an excellent documentary on the chiptune scene. Do a search on vimeo for part 2 and watch it before someone pulls it off.

Jeremy, fyi the player you're using: http://listen.grooveshark.com/songWidget.swf contains a flash stack overflow error in some effect event handling code that makes the page unviewable with the debug flash player installed.
