Will SanDisk's New 'Slot Music' Make Sense for Consumers?

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.
