Magnatune - we are not evil - and Hana Micron launch TunePlug portable USB drive with pre-loaded MP3 music from leading independent artists.
“The TunePlug reusable USB Flash Drive will feature 10 complete albums from 10 leading Magnatune artists as MP3 files. The newest way to distribute music, TunePlug offers consumers a simple way to experience emerging music on an easy-to-use, transferable information device.”

Another specific device Record Labels have to take serious? Change again their just approved strategy on mobile music? One might get melancholic and wander where are the days there was only 1 device to write the music to, the vinyl . It sure gets complex for Record Labels these days or rather interesting with the technology creating more opportunities?

Magnatune uses a NonCommercial license, so the USB drive vendor had to ask permission to sell drives filled with Magnatune tracks. However, it is a device shipped chock full of Creative Commons-licensed music, which is pretty cool
