Cool music delivery system

I bought this really cool form of music delivery I've never seen before. I was at the Odawa 50th anniversary powwow this weekend and one of the drummers from the group Whitetail Cree came up to me to try to sell me an album.

I knew what he was coming to do - not my first powwow. I knew he didn't have CDs, but I could see what appeared to be business cards in his hand. I heard one of the announcers mention something about digital copies so I thought this was just a card with a link to buy or something.

Instead it turned out to be something quite clever: a card with a USB drive built in! You flip out the card and plug it into your car or PC. It's ingenious and something I've never seen before.

I probably wouldn't have bought it otherwise, to be honest. I paid $20. I'll load it into Apple Music later this week.

A light tan card with the words WHITE on the left, and BUFFAO on the right, with WHITETAIL at the top centre. There is a stylized picture of a buffalo in the centre with Cree writing placed vertically above it. A light tan card with the words EVERNICE Design.Co in the bottom left. In the middle there is an animal skull with big antlers and the letters W T C overlayed vertically The same tan coloured card as the first image, this time with a USB card flipped out on the left side.
