Music industry, retailers bet on new physical format for music
Music CDs are beginning to lose out to digital downloads and streaming -- but soon we'll have another choice: albums on fingernail-sized memory cards.
Electronics company SanDisk, four major records labels, and powerful music retailers Wal-Mart and Best Buy have unveiled a plan to sell MP3-format music on microSD cards, which fit inside most phones. The albums will not be copy-protected and will include a USB adapter to allow them to play on computers.
