Sandisk Slotmusic player introduced at $19.99

Posted on 15 October 2008, at 5:29 am, by Wayne Schulz

Sandisk today is beginning shipment of their Slotmusic player to retailers including Best Buy and Wal-Mart. This $19.99 player consumes DRM-less MP3 albums that are pre-loaded to MicroSD cards. Special artist branded versions will retail for $34.99 and allow you to carry a player with the image of your favorite recording artist. These players and the new distribution model of selling DRM free music on MicroSD cards was announced last month. Clearly these players and the accompanying music are intended to be impulse purchases by people who may fear losing a more expensive MP3 player and parents looking to purchase an inexpensive device for their pre-teens.

Announced last month, slotMusic is a new format of high-fidelity, DRM-free MP3 music on a microSD card, which gives consumers the ability to easily listen to—and quickly swap—their favorite songs among a mobile phone, personal computer, and any MP3 player with a microSD slot. slotMusic cards available this month will feature nearly 40 of the biggest names in music from all four major music labels: EMI Music, SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group. Artists on slotMusic cards include Robin Thicke, Katy Perry and Coldplay.
