Flash Memory Takes on Hard Drives for Music
October 19, 2007The humble hard drive is the ultimate repository for music in your home, office and car. But mobile music increasingly sits on flash memory, whether in an iPOD, a more humble MP3 player, or on your cell phone.
Now USB flash drives you can wear on your wrist are bridging the gap between concert and computer, with artists like Matchbox 20, Willie Nelson and even the Bob Marley fan club selling memory sticks packed with music and memories (like photos) of the artists.
Fans can not only leave a Willie concert stoned and satisfied, but take with them a special keep-sake; a downloaded version of that night’s concert.
