I was at a gig tonight and the performer was selling CDs of his music.
I thought "how old school".

Not having bought music from a shop for many years, I wondered whether
you can buy 'albums' on a memory stick?

BTW I know can load from CD my pc or to a memory stick to use in my car,
but then I have a CD I don't need.

I have not seen that but I have been provided album downloads
a few times.

I think Korean KPOP groups do something like that called a 'Smart Album'. Usually a keyring sized cd case with a QR code to a digital download on
it, however I've never seen a UK version of it myself.

You can buy individual tracks from Amazon up to 99p a pop then make your
own thumbdrive.

Not recently, but I did hear of one album release that was done on USB
stick rather than CD because of the size. IIRC, it was the complete
works of J. S. Bach. I think they said that the number of CDs required
would have been 96.

I haven't seen any for sale, it might have been a viable format if Internet downloads hadn't superseded it. The niche it would fit never materialised.
