NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Flash memory maker Sandisk said on Monday that Yahoo would provide music services for its Sansa Connect digital audio player.

Sansa Connect lets users listen to typical MP3 songs, but also has a built-in wireless communication connection, allowing users to download songs from Yahoo's service without first linking to a personal computer.
