    Would you pay $15 for an album that came on a 1GB flash drive?

    For a 1GB flash drive that came with an album on it?

    My band, Techromancer is going to release our album Space Duel on flash drives instead of CDs, because everyone hates CDs and after people rip the music off them they just collect dust and take up space in your apartment. Flash drives, on the other hand, you can reuse to take your essays from your home computer to school, or share music, movies and TV shows with friends.

    That said, the more affordable flashdrives are only 256MB. Which would fit our album on it, and we could charge $10 a pop for ‘em, which is standard album price. However, I’m worried that using such a small USB ruins their reuse value because you can’t put as much data on them after you take our CD off. The point being that I wanted a digital way to sell people our album, and then have them be able to reuse the drive afterwards. SO. The USB drives that are 1GB we would have to charge $15 for them, so my question to you is:

    Would you be willing to pay $15 for a 40 minute album if it came on a 1GB flash drive you could use over and over?

    (Or, would you rather pay $10 for 128MB?)

    (additionally, the album will be released on iTunes for cheaper)
