RFID and Music ??

This is flippin amazing !!  What a geek !!

"Dividuum, my flat-mate, has built a very cool RFID application. He stores SID-files (SID is the music format for the C64) on RFID tags. When you put such a tag near to the reader, the music is played on the stereo. He got a RFID reader (ID ISC.PR100) which you can connect to your PC through USB, and has written a library in C to control it. The C library has a very simple interface: it searches for the USB device using libusb, and the application using the library can then send vendor requests to the device (vendor requests are "USB ioctls on speed"). The whole functionality of the device can be called using these vendor requests. The C library is used by a Ruby wrapper which has methods for all the commands of the reader. You can read and write the configuration data of the reader, control the LED, write its EEPROM, and, of course, read and write RFID tags, all of this using the OO system of Ruby. "

Warning its a Hackathon : Technical Document is here and pictures to boot !!

Update: A got a ping back and was thrown this darn Human Implant with RFID for car access. Nope its true, I checked out the video !! I am suddenly looped into unknow areas of RFID's !!! :
