DataPlay's new digital media disc is only about the size of a quarter, but
it can hold either 11 hours of MP3 files, five hours of CD-quality music, or
500MB of computer data.
Four major record labels have signed up to use DataPlay technology, and the
new music players are slated to be released by Samsung, Toshiba, and Matsushita
in May. Retail prices are expected to range from $299 to $369. The first generation
of players will be introduced with music from EMI, Universal Music Group, BMG
entertainment, and Zomba Recording.
