New music memory cards

So ScanDisk is working with several major record companies to manufacture albums on memory cards as well as CDs. This adds to the slow-down of CD sales, but also shows that record companies still want people to buy music physically.
I think it's a pretty good idea. The cards will be small, have a USB cord to connect to computers, and be easier to share. It's a smart way of keeping people interested in the music industry. I probably won't buy any, as I haven't bought an album in 6 years, but other people will I'm sure. Some might think that this is too much change and that the demise of CDs is like the demise of culture. But it's refreshing to know that the executives are trying to catch up with us. People will share music no matter what, so it's better to be a part of that than against it. I'm excited to see how this will turn out.
