The end of music CDs?
How I remember those days of vinyl records, 8-track tapes, cassettes, and CDs. Yes, I said CDs. Their days could be numbered as a new music format is about to burst onto the scene. Slot Music, a micro SD card that is about the size of a fingernail, has been developed by SanDisk. Each SD card will hold an albumâs worth of music, album cover art, liner notes, and will have extra space for personal files and photos. All songs will be free of copy protection as well.
A slot music memory chip is smaller than the size of a postage stamp. (From Sandisk)
So far four music companies â Universal, Sony, Warner, and EMI âare on board as they hope to add another revenue stream to their bottom line. CD sales dropped 19 percent last year.
Best Buy and Wal-Mart are just two of the big retailers that will carry Slot Music. The new format is expected to be out before the holiday shopping season. Twenty-nine different albums ranging from Usher, Weezer, Akon, and even Elvis will be available at launch.
Micro SD cards can be played in many cell phones and MP3 players. Each album will come with a USB device so you can access the album on your computer. All we need now is a Micro SD player for our cars.
