Tons of potential. Plus it more directly touches how people use music these days, most often collected on PC now than on CD or other material.
Downside? The keys themselves are small, so there will be a ton pf packaging required so they can't be easily shoplifted.

I actually like the idea...I could see them being used even further...while they're listening to tunes, you could also have your merch catalog on there, tour dates and maybe even add a special code word on there that would unlock other stuff on the band's website...all a little gimmicky, but maybe enough to turn a couple heads and add a whole new level to the experience...
