mp3.com did a similar thing this around 1999/2000... you inserted an audio cd into your drive. it connected to the site and when it verified you had 'posession' of the cd. when it was identified, it was added to your online locker for streaming. eventually artists and labels began hating on it and you know where that all leads.
the mp3.com solution was cool at the time, but with the size of hard drives and portable audio devices, it now sounds like more trouble than it's worth.
