    Will SanDisk's New 'Slot Music' Make Sense for Consumers? [view article]
    Well, @chano "This product will only enjoy marginal sales and then only if the songs are freely copyable and the 1Gig card then becomes a reusable item." The answer to both of these is yes, DRM free and the card is a standard 1gb microSD card, fully reusable.

    I'm with User 270845, some of my favorite music is the stuff the record labels never promoted, the b sides of 45's and singles. I like more songs from the Beatles that were NEVER hits than those that were. The crap most people listen to on the radio is just what the record companies want you to hear! The GOOD stuff is usually the rest of the album. We all get tired of the overplayed singles we hear over and over and over on the radio. Not buying the whole album means you miss out on finding the hidden gems, period. But go ahead and keep buying one song at a time from iTunes and load them onto your iPod (which you can't use these card in anyway)......By the way, the current cost of a 1gb card with no music on it from the largest brick and mortar electronics retail in the USA (rhymes with west and eye), is....wait......only $15.99 USD. So you get a whole bunch of music, that you just might be surprised to like, for a buck or two more than you would pay for a brand new empty card.     Reply

    What I don't get is how come people today can't actually take time to listen to an entire album of music from an artist and appreciate it for what it is instead of only wanting to hear the "hit". Most albums have many great songs on them that so many people never hear because they don't take the time to listen. It's the short attention span, immediate gratification syndrome. Just sit back, and LISTEN. I guess those people can't sit in an open field and just enjoy the breeze either. So much greatness in this world being missed by so many.
    As for the format, I predicted a few years ago that music would eventually come on a chip instead of a spinning disk. I think that the market as it is today will not support it because of the availability of downloads, but it is a great idea and the devices we are using are already equipped to use it.     Reply

    This is all about keeping the distribution bottleneck which gives the Labels their power. With electronic distribution, sooner or later the labels will die because bands will have other forms of distribution.

    They know CD's are going the way of the Dodo. It's a last-gasp effort to keep the retail market monopoly.

    This doesn't sound like a market success to me. Who wants memory chips when I can download software? Reply

    Well said FreeRange. This product will only enjoy marginal sales and then only if the songs are freely copyable and the 1Gig card then becomes a reusable item. Even so, the thought of having to buy unimpressive filer songs is a killer. Digital distribution means content with no distribution medium. This is a backward step therefore.
    But it does indicate some lateral thinking on Sandisk's part. They are going to need a lot more of that to regain their lost market cap.     Reply

    The root cause of the current mess is housing price slide. There is an enormous over-supply. To fix the problem, among other measures, the most important maybe a temporary prevention of new housing supply coming into the marketplace. Let there be a one year ban on new housing permits. This will help put a bottom on the falling housing prices. Mortgage Backed securities will begin to have renewed value. Does anyone think Congress can or will enact the ban? Reply

    Suggestion to music industry: Put out great music on all tracks. Have your bands actually know how to play music. Develop schools for them to start with classical training in music across all genres including jazz, blues, classical. Then help them write great songs. Consumers have voted - for the majority of bands / albums they are no longer willing to pay you to buy full albums of mediocre songs to get one or two good tracks. Its a combination of quality and consumer demand. What is it you are trying to do? Heck, why not put one hundred tracks on an album and charge $150. Do you think that might work? Slot Music will fail horribly... as it should. Digital distribution is the most efficient method for delivering content, and the most profitable. (The industry is just trying to get people to buy more at one time.) You just need to deliver what people actually want to pay for - what a concept! Reply

    SanDisk Challenges The iPod With Its Sansa MP3 Player (SNDK, AAPL) [view article]
    Well, I am probably not an expert in MP3 players, but I know I want - that's a player with a really big screen - to view pictures and videos…well, the sound is not less important of course. I think of buying Sansa Fuze - it looks nice, not too bulky, but with a large display and sounds just the right way! Reply

    Kinabalu - long before the latest "bailout", the Fed opened its "discount window" splashing a tsunami of cheap credit on an inebriated, hung over financial industry. I call that "bailout", and Lehman sucked up a wholse bunch of that money. It was reported that Lehman paid midyear bonuses using some of that money. If they did, in my personal opinion they should be PROSECUTED.

    There's way too many fast buck artists, casino gamblers and just plain con men on wall street these days. They make Gordon Gecko look like a choir boy. And that our Congresscritters are even considering bailing these immoral, unethical "financiers" out is unimaginable. How about a little jail time ?

    Hopefully they'll get Tyrone as a cellmate. He''ll give them what the Congress won't - payback.-     Reply

    It is understandable, but people are focusing on the wrong issue when they question the Democrats' requirement that the leaders of the banks have their compensation capped. (The public will have its pound of flesh.) In time, the issues that will matter are:
    1. Are we only taking care of US banks? If we want to be a global banking center, we cannot have a huge home field advantage.
    2. What will the Treasury pay for the paper that they will be buying? That is really the big question - if done properly, and if much of the debt has been the result of panic selling, they should be able to make a profit.
    3. Will the Treasury receive an equity stake (warrants?) in the banks as part of the deal to take their paper as some Democrats want? If so, we are really on a socialist path, with the federal government having an ownership position in so many insititutions - and in a way that they cannot close or sell them.     Reply
