Hi all, 

'With new software released this month, Microsoft is attracting novice 
songwriters. You sing the words as best you can, and Songsmith software 
supplies computer-matched musical accompaniment .. '

Here's the MS release promo video:

will give you a feel for the kind of music you can create with Songsmith. 
Anything you hear on this page was created with Songsmith.'

Here's Sgt Peppers on Youtube: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=9BZk6aZp9xE

Should be noted, in musical terms, it seems the reviews aren't good so far
