The ability for the labels to stake their claim in the download arena and successfully compete with LimeWire, MySpace and other free services is doomed. Flash drive designer and manufacturer Flash Drive Direct has penned a treatise that describes a new and viable replacement for the CD that will appeal to the download demographic and offer a richer media intense delivery system.
