As a factory producing bespoke storage devices, we often receive a request for “physical album music cards”—the centrepiece of this sort of thing is indeed our USB C Music Card. This Type-C interface card style flash drive for smartphone not only contains the music of physical albums but is also a useful item of portable storage.

What are the uses of physical album music cards?

Steps to Customize Your USB Music Card

• Requirements with USB music card with client (i.e. Capacity: 4GB – 128GB; Interface: Optional Type-C + USB-A dual-port; Version: 2.0 – 3.0); Collect all materials from client for us to upload the customized looks of USB music card.
• Once we have received all custom material from the client, we will complete the final step of creating a sample of card with the client;
• Confirm that USB music card works properly with a sample of music;
• Once the USB music card is approved by the client we enter mass production. Of course we scrutinize every product for quality before shipping them.

How to Choose a OTG Card USB Flash Drive for Music Storage?

When Choosing an Type-C card USB Flash Drive to Store Your Music, Pay Close Attention To The Following Criteria:

• Interface:Choose dual-interface options (Type-C + USB-A) for easy mobile playback and computer file transfer. In general, most USB sticks only have a single interface, so make sure you find one that works for your devices. Most players have a USB Type-A interface, while newer and mobile devices also have a Type-C port;
• Capacity:A 16GB USB stick holds around 4,000 MP3 songs, while 32GB and up works well for lossless-quality album storage;
• Right version:Choose USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 version that meets your transfer needs (see below for differences between 2.0 and 3.0 versions);
• Durability:For those who want media stored on USB sticks that look like physical albums, beware of easily-bent USBs. Get one that has robust PVC.

Core Feature: “Dual-Zone” Partition Encryption Design

Core Feature “Dual-Zone” Encryption Design. To satisfy copyright and confidentiality of music content we have designed a partitioned encryption scheme.

Encrypted Data Zone- the drive icon can be custom (can be swapped with cover art from album) able, may be renamed, can be “copy protected,” can be blocked from being deleted, blocked from being replicated, and is ideal for unreleased demos as well as exclusive album material.

Normal Use Zone- This frees up space robbed form redundancy to be utilized for the public storing of music and other daily files, thereby enabling ourselves to make “balance” with that of practicality.
