Check this out… a band called “The Red” has released an album on a USB Jump drive. As a promotion proclaims, “The Red is thinking FORWARD”, and one must admit that it is a pretty ingenious way to release an independant album. Perhaps it is just further proof that CDs are SO 20th century.

It would be really great if car stereos were equipped to take USB jump drive inputs. Obviously there would need to be some kind of software in the car that could play the files on the disk, but there’s no question that carrying a bunch of mp3’s on a 1 or 2GB jump drive is much easier than burning said files to multiple CDs. Even data CDs or DVDs don’t offer the convenience that a jump drive can.
