Remember Searchme, that visual search engine we told you about a couple of months ago? Well, they’re back with a great new feature: Music Search.
Searchme has just added a music tab to their search options, allowing you to search through Imeem’s database of fully legal and restriction free music streams. Its a great and easy way to test-drive some of the songs you are interested in, and the intuitive Searchme interface makes it even easier to find the songs you are looking for.

SanDisk has proposed their new idea of having music stored on a microSD card or slotMusic and each album is expected to sell at about $7-$10. Our storage devices are getting smaller and smaller these days. It shouldn’t be too much surprise having music stored on a microSD card after they’ve done it in a USB stick.
Storing music on microSD card seems to be able to capture much wider market. As anyone who drops by a store that sells the music microSD cards, will pick up a few as they’re so tiny and pretty easy to carry around and some more they can be played back right away on the mobile phone/PDA/PMP (with microSD slot) that is inside their pockets.
Music on microSD card or slotMusic will include DRM-free MP3 tracks, which are typically encoded at 320kbps that are high-quality music. The music on microSD cards will come in a 1GB storage and each card will come included with a tiny USB adapter which is for the convenience of letting you backup the music to your computer or transfer to other storage media. And of course, you can then overwrite the card with other music once you’ve got fed up listening to those tracks originally loaded on it.
The main problem is music stored those tiny cards tend to get misplaced by the forgetful geeks. But to the music seller it’ll be a plus, as once you’ve lost a slotMusic you’ll probably drop by the store the next hours to buy another one.
Music on a tiny microSD card wouldn’t sound so nice for giving it as a gift to others. The music on a CD is the more preferred gift due to the size, and it definitely looks nicer once wrapped in a gift wrapper. Lets say giving it as a birthday gift.
The slotMusic will be available in various stores in the States such as Walmart and BestBuy starting next year. And check out more on slotMusic

After the slotMusic, SanDisk has introduced another new idea for the music industry, which is a little device, called slotRadio that brings the convenience for some lazy butts who just want casual music like tuning to the radio, without needing to deal with music playlist manager.
slotRadio is just about the size of an iPod Shuffle. It carries a price tag of $99.99 and preloaded with 1,000 songs (on microSD card) drawn from decades worth of Billboard chart toppers. Or your get additional microSD cards which each pre-loaded with 1,000 songs that only costs $39.99 each. Seven add-on cards will be available at start.
Each song costs as little as 4 cents on a card or 10 cents for those come with the player. Songs are protected by DRM that locks it to slotRadio cards. You can’t select what song you wanna play at a given moment. Songs are sorted in a variety of channels, with each having over a hundred songs. You’re still able to skip a song if you don’t like it and go to next one. But you’re not able to repeatedly play the same song.
The slotRadio is a very simple device that comes equipped with a monochrome screen which at least gives you some idea what you’re playing now. And it’s equipped with volume controls and a skip button. The device gets recharged via USB port, comes included with standard earbuds.
