Well, presumably they would be for use in Acid, right?

Well....you could add water and have enough electrolyte to get a dry
charged battery going...or...you could use it to remove
rust....or...you could experience acid reflux first hand...or.....

I see you're posting from Google. I hear they have some kind of search
engine.

This "acid loops software music" here

http://www.google.com/advanced_group_search?hl=en

gets this (if you use this URl make sure it doesn't wrap):

which suggests Sony is the publisher of Acid.

Which doesn't have much to do with Acid loops, but is a fine and fun

No matter how many times I tell the Sony 'bot that I use only MAC
software, I still get multi-page glossy brochures trying to sell me
Wintel apps. They need some miniature bean counters to sweat the small
stuff.

No kidding. I don't see how they make a profit with as much hard spam as
they mail.

If you haven't yet found the info, Acid has been aquired by Sony from Sonic
Foundry. The following link will bring you there.

Actually it's a pretty fun program to use with loops, nothing really
wrong with having an easy-to-understand GUI.

For what it is it's cool. You'd probably want to export the acid
drums / other parts to another app for tracking though. It can open
up cool song ideas though.
