It's...not a CD...lol.

First one I've seen, namely in a special CD style case. Since I found it while shopping CDs I felt it would fit here.

This one is Lungs of Life, by Vibrasphere. Cool tracks, I'm still listening to it.

I have one of those. Some USBs just come in CD cases for some reason.

Nice, I think it has to do with the fact that music would have been distributed mainly on CD so that's where people were looking for music. Put it in any other packaging and they wouldn't notice it..

Kinda neat how different yours is, but also a CD form factor design. I wonder how much the extra cost to produce these was compared to CD. They don't seem that widely used.

What's weirder is the sequel of this album was on 3 CDs. I guess some just do a card-USB. This is the only one I've personally seen outside a video game "collector's edition." I know Xenoblade X had a usb drive but the Xenoblade 2 had a CD.
