When the Mars Volta put out its latest album, "The Bedlam in Goliath," in January, the act gave its hardcore fans an option that is becoming increasingly popular -- and creative.

The device comes with a digital-rights-management-free version of the album and the promise of more bonus materials in coming months. (PC World)
