It seemed pretty clear to me. I don't know how.

It's not logical to talk about "music with no soul" because music requires a human's response to it. It's quite possible a computer could make music a human would respond well to.

The impossibility is to get another computer to respond in the same way, so it's more logical to talk about a response with no soul.

Whatever a computer can create or compose, it will always be purpose built to do so; so the music can actually always be attributed to the "programmer" anyway. Well, until a pc starts spitting beautiful midi's out because of some creative compulsion.
