Those New-Fangled USB Music Sticks Are Nowhere To Be Found
Leigh Stark over at APC was cynical about the new album on a USB-stick DDA technology we saw last week. Hell, so was I. But Leigh decided to try and check it out anyway, except for the fact that he couldn’t find them anywhere… That’s right, either we were both wrong and the whole “album on a USB stick” concept is proving massively popular beyond anyone’s wildest expectations, or (more likely) nobody cares and the whole thing was more PR than an actual product release. Considering Leigh actually asked in store at some of the biggest music shops (that were supposed to have them) and got funny looks, it’s not looking too promising for the new format. Head on over to APC to read the full account…

A quick search on the internet and I found this online. The USB album is being sold through Waterfront online.
What a suprise! They have already tried selling usb sticks before and it didnt work…i dont understand what these people are thinking. If you actually want to go and buy a physical thing surely you would go get the cd with all the artwork ect. Why would you want to get something that just gives you the same files as itunes or whatever. Laaaame.
If you have a look in JB HIFI, the latest Ministry of sound 2009 Annual has been released on CD and USB sitck.
Granted the Stick is twice the price of the CD, but it’s 2GB, has the mixed version of the CD AND the unmixed songs as well. A bargin for DJ’s if they’re in to that genre of music :)
