No need to limit yourself by "binding" songs rigidly to any particular media like Flop!
You couldn't possibly assemble your own Mix Tape with this arcane method.

Wrongo! Your method is far worse. What happens if you leave your MP3 player at the office and can't check your songs back in ? Gone!
What happens if you lose your player or your CF fails before you can check back in ? Everything Gone and you lose your rights to the music.
What if your wife and you want the same song on two different 'mixes'? No can do.

From NYTimes regarding SDMI:

The initiative's work will be in vain if its efforts are not accepted by
consumers using unrestricted MP3 files. It might seem like asking
someone to leave a grassy field and move into a cell. But the initiative's
biggest advantage is that the major record companies are willing to
cooperate: it benefits them to wait until a good system of safeguards and
payment arrangements have been developed before they put their vast
archives of music online.

It's simple, no one will be interested in this mechanism, it's waaaaaaay to inflexible.

Who is going to wait till their PC boots up copy files while trying to run out the door and catch a bus or train ?? Sorry.
This implementation sucks, face it.
