slotMusic

SanDisk Corporation is now promoting an alternative to the traditional compact disc, said NME. This new sound carrier is called slotMusic and soon it may replace something what people used for decades. SlotMusic is the memory card which can contain up do 1Gb of music written in MP3/320klbs format. This device should be able to work with the cell phones, all kinds of mp3/video players and so on. Practically, it’s not going to create any revolution in the music listening process because the mp3 player revolution is already on the way and there is nothing more convenient than iPod. However, the idea behind the slotMusic card was (of course!) widely supported by the major record labels like EMI Muisc, Sony BMG, Warner Music Group, Universal Group and so on. It means that they’re going to try fighting mp3’s with this new hardware device on the basis of ‘once we cannot stop the process, we shall try leading it’. It’s already known which artists will be presented on the slotMusic format – Oasis, Amy Winehouse and Coldplay.
