Cool....just to make it clear, you don't get the scholarship, rather, the it will be the "YourNameHere Full Ride Scholarship to WorldRenownedMusicSchool" or something like that. I'm liking the awards at every 100,000 song marker too.

Man that's too bad, I was really hoping the scholarship counted my school as a world renowned music school, I could definitely use some tuition money.

wow 10 60 gig iPods. That's a good prize for apple because it gets the ipod in the hands of more people but I think they could have done a much better prize.
It would be cool if they gave you a new ipod every revision for the next 10 revisions.
