....Which, several years later, would become Music Choice.
Did they use Scientific Atlanta's "CD-X" NICAM hack-up that DMX were also using at that time or did they have some other transmission system?

It was called Music Choice when I first subscribed in 1996. Used a separate General Instruments DCR-1000 receiver. Had 34 channels at the time; somewhere I still have that channel lineup card. I recall "Italian" was one of the offerings.
When I got digital cable TV boxes in 1999 the newly launched digital cable service included Music Choice on its channel lineup, so I dropped the separate service box and the related charge (Music Choice was baked into the digital cable subscription cost.)
And 30 years later audio on cable still exist on Comcast in the form of Music apps on the Xfinity device.
