SlotMusic (styled "slotMusic") is a type of microSD[1] memory card developed by SanDisk preloaded with music in MP3 format[1][2]. They were first available at Wal-Mart and Best Buy stores in the United States in October 2008[3]. The current selection of songs comes from Universal Music Group, Sony BMG, Warner Music Group and EMI Music[1][2].
The audio files contain no digital rights management[2], and are encoded at a minimum bitrates of 256 to 320 kbit/s.[2][4]
SlotMusic albums may also include high-quality images and videos in multiple formats[2]. The contents of each microSD card may be altered by the user, enabling them to add or remove files from the SlotMusic card as desired[2].
