Some of the world's largest record companies are testing a new music format in Europe known as the pocket CD to spin new life into faltering music singles.
We believe there is still demand for a physical single format, and hope that folding in a ringtone will make pocket CDs an attractive - and, hopefully, collectible - purchase," a Universal Music UK spokesman said.
"faltering music singles" - That's what happens when singles are sold for 50% of the album price. Why buy them, when you can get 90% more music for only double the price.
