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

I agree with a lot of the comments, but I'll never buy these. I, too, have been expecting a distribution medium like this for a long time, but I didn't expect that it would contain compressed files. If I have to go to a store for a product or order it online, I want the full file (i.e. CD quality) or at least a lossless AAC or something. There's enough room on a 1G chip. I know, many of you will say nobody can tell the difference between a CD and 320 Kbs file. Hogwash. One of my ears is shot, and I can tell. MP3 is one of the oldest formats, too. Go to any audiophile group, and you will see that they cannot even stand CDs. I think that kids will still download their lousy lossy files anyway. I kind of looked forward to this medium giving me CD quality files on a chip. If this keeps up, then all we'll be getting period are lousy compressed files. They may sound OK on earbuds, and 320 isn't the worst in the world, but I wish somebody would allow me to download or purchase the CD quality files.
