Eerste MP3 album uitgebracht BBC News bericht over een nieuw album van ex-Rolling Stones bandlid Bill Wyman. Niets bijzonders - maar het is het eerste album dat exclusief in het MP3-formaat wordt uitgebracht. En de overtreffende trap: het album wordt geleverd inclusief een kleine MP3-speler. De geheugenkaart (of Multi Media Card) waarop Wyman's album staat kan worden vervangen door een MMC met eigen muziek. Een Britse firma, MP3 Limited, bouwt de MP3-speler voor een kleine 175 gulden. Het losse apparaat waarmee de Multi Media Cards geschreven kunnen worden kost eveneens een kleine 175 gulden.
