Interesting, especially since they will contain mp3 or wav files.

Yeah check the site out here: http://www.dda4me.com

To summarise:

DDA is a revolutionary Australian-invented patented music format delivered on a USB stick, jammed with tons of extra digital content.

Sneaky Sound System and Gurrumul will be among the first artists in the world to launch their albums on DDA on 1 December.

DDA has album tracks, lyrics, liner notes/credits, photos and artwork, and can also have hundreds of tracks (over varied file formats) and thousands of photos accessible online, all provided by the artists.  Plus exclusive social networking – with the artists and other music lovers.

DDA content can be accessed from any device, from anywhere, exported to any device, shared, imported, downloaded, uploaded, you name it.

Sounds very interesting....

In the website, I only saw reference to mp3, nothing about wav, and wav takes too much space, so I would be surprised if they included it.

Seems like a style over substance thing to me.

Hmmm... but USB sticks generally have at least 1gb capacity (more than a 700mb CD) so I dont see why they couldnt include WAVs.

I think the extra content (videos, photos, whatever) that's accessible online is the "substance".
