Music GroupsUniversal Music Group to Sell USB Singles
The last we heard about USB drives was HMV's plans to include the storage devices in its renovated retail stores. Today I saw an article that said Universal Music Group is going to release upcoming U.K. singles by Keane and Pussycat Dolls on USB memory sticks. Each USB drive would cost £4.99 ($10), a 67% premium over a comparable CD single.
These wouldn't be the first USB drives on the market -- Barenaked Ladies, for one example, has released music on 128MB drives -- but the larger labels have yet to actively pursue flash drives as a viable physical format.
