J. Lo will be releasing an album via flash drive, and not a cheap one either. Gresso and Sony BMG Music Entertainment have come up with this idea to distribute Lopez’s "Brave" album on the Adam&Eve flash drive, which features 1GB of storage and is crafted from African Mahogany or African Blackwood. It is supposed to sell for around $70 and methinks that just might hurt sales.

If you love music beyond all else – and have cash lying around to the tune of six or seven thousand dollars, then this is for you!

Geared toward indie music lovers, artists can their upload music for others to vote on in a Digg-style format. And to “keep the music indie,” users are encouraged to flag music that is “too mainstream.”

Here’s a wild idea for a design concept: put together a speaker with 12 sides, otherwise known as a dodecahedron, and you’ll get a 360-degree blast of music. These spacy-looking Quasar speakers send their sound all over the place, so no matter where you are in the room, their sweet audio will be spilling out from within their crystalline confines, heading right for your ears.

awesome.

This would be the first on the list of things to buy if I was to ever was to sideline as a pimp. The gold-colored iPod shuffle was given a tour through Germany by German Company Xexoo as a way to piggyback on the success gained from the gold (old-school) iPod. And yes, that is real 18 carat gold. And no, it isn’t cheap. It is said to cost about 14,000 EUR, or $19,343 for us yanks. If you’re impressed enough by a precious metal that you will gladly shell out thousands of dollars for 1GB of music, then by all means, this is right player for you.

But, wait! There’s more! If gold isn’t quite up to your standard (I’m more a fan of silver, myself), you will have another option for your iPod in the near future. Just think…diamonds.
