DataData, Turn your bits into sweet music

August Black

From the site:
DataDada, version , is an application that will turn the stored data on your hard drive into a movie complete with sound, image, and subtitles. Essentially, it reads all the data on the disk (or, optionally, only specific directories), and writes the data to your computer’s sound card and video display. Additionally, it will display the name of the file being read as a human-understandable subtitle.

Looks like fun.. I will have to give a run.
