growing up, my mates and i would constantly swap mixtapes – there was a raw charm about them that ‘invisible’ mp3s (and even CDs) don’t have. i would much rather give a friend an audiostick than email them a playlist.

This project is exploring how our perception towards music will change. not about manufacturing the usb sticks to replace cds. please get the facts right before posting about someone else's project.</p> I guess you guys are misunderstanding the point of this project.

How is "designing" a USB flash stick and hub worthwhile in this exploration? What raw charm does a stick have over a cd, with its better quality, lower cost and larger area for artwork?</p> What’s the point of exploring how our perceptions toward music will change when no viable result is offered?
