microSD cards will soon be made available with pre-loaded, high quality, DRM-free MP3 music of top artists from EMI Music, SONY BMG, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group. These microSD cards, in a new physical music format called “slotMusic”, will be available in US with Europe to follow. A complete list of slotMusic albums, availability and pricing will be announced in time for the coming holiday season.

Users simply insert the slotMusic card into their microSD-enabled mobile phone or MP3 player to hear the music – without passwords, downloading or digital-rights-management interfering with their personal use. Just like music distributed in CD format, you might end up with carrying many microSD cards with different music content.
