Anyone who is into music production will more likely prefer to transfer their tracks digitally over the internet - or, if physical media is needed - a 700 MB CDR/RW.  There is no way a micro SD card could be cheaper than a Rewriteable CD-R  and to add to that - its size makes it easy to misplace.   The same goes for people who are downloading tracks from the internet. Its easier to download to their  zune/ipod without carrying around these chips. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Flashpoint]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 19th 2008 8:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SanDisk launches Sansa Sessions -- music distribution by microSD, what else]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/sandisk-launches-sansa-sessions-music-distribution-by-microsd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/sandisk-launches-sansa-sessions-music-distribution-by-microsd/</guid><description><![CDATA[...or, in the case of the iPod, flash cards are of no direct appeal. All the more reason why they can be used to promote MP3 players / PMPs that accept flash cards (it helps distinguish the player).<br>However, I see this is as a 'value-add' equivalent to bloatware on a new PC; of little value since this stuff is available online already and a 512MB card has little practical value.<br>Just another promotional move that got us gossiping...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ScooterDe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 19th 2008 9:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SanDisk launches Sansa Sessions -- music distribution by microSD, what else]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/sandisk-launches-sansa-sessions-music-distribution-by-microsd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/sandisk-launches-sansa-sessions-music-distribution-by-microsd/</guid><description><![CDATA[hey 2GB cards are like $10 now maybe SanDisk is trying to get rid of the 512MB cards no one is buying.

It's also a promo for the Fuze, of course; but, if all they wanted was to provide music for Fuze buyers, they could preload it.<br><br>Actually, it's also a promo for μSD (since most devices with μSD slots have onboard storage, so there are probably people who never bother trying it out) and a market test for the concept of distributing music on flash (which, of course, SanDisk would just love).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John Stracke]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 19th 2008 5:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SanDisk launches Sansa Sessions -- music distribution by microSD, what else]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/sandisk-launches-sansa-sessions-music-distribution-by-microsd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/sandisk-launches-sansa-sessions-music-distribution-by-microsd/</guid><description><![CDATA[best way to move out piled up old inventory :p]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jagannath A]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 19th 2008 8:39AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SanDisk launches Sansa Sessions -- music distribution by microSD, what else]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/sandisk-launches-sansa-sessions-music-distribution-by-microsd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/sandisk-launches-sansa-sessions-music-distribution-by-microsd/</guid><description><![CDATA[...exactly what I was thinking.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nomi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 19th 2008 9:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SanDisk launches Sansa Sessions -- music distribution by microSD, what else]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/sandisk-launches-sansa-sessions-music-distribution-by-microsd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/sandisk-launches-sansa-sessions-music-distribution-by-microsd/</guid><description><![CDATA[free is free and sounds good to me.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dj-kenpo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 19th 2008 9:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SanDisk launches Sansa Sessions -- music distribution by microSD, what else]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/sandisk-launches-sansa-sessions-music-distribution-by-microsd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/sandisk-launches-sansa-sessions-music-distribution-by-microsd/</guid><description><![CDATA[I should say, I'd of prefered getting a 512mb sampler flash drive with my original rio pmp300 32mb instead of a cd... just sayin. impossible at the time, but just sayin.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dj-kenpo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 19th 2008 9:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SanDisk launches Sansa Sessions -- music distribution by microSD, what else]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/sandisk-launches-sansa-sessions-music-distribution-by-microsd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/sandisk-launches-sansa-sessions-music-distribution-by-microsd/</guid><description><![CDATA[Free is good, but are the cards re-recordable. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Deaner]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 19th 2008 9:20AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SanDisk launches Sansa Sessions -- music distribution by microSD, what else]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/sandisk-launches-sansa-sessions-music-distribution-by-microsd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/sandisk-launches-sansa-sessions-music-distribution-by-microsd/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nada Surf an emerging artist?
