The Even-More-Compact Disc
+ de 1600 Acessos
Esse é o tamanho do provável substituto do CD, o DataPlay. Para engolir como se fosse uma pílula. Armazena 11 (onze) horas de música:
"The newly released portable music format, called DataPlay digital media, is the latest technology joining a cornucopia of choices for consumers to play their favorite tunes through headphones connected to palm-size devices. The discs, contained in a clear plastic shell, are about the size of the ring in the center of a CD, or about one-fourth the size of a minidisc. They will be available in blank, recordable form as well as prerecorded, copy-protected albums.
"The first DataPlay music player-recorders went on sale recently, and waves of prerecorded DataPlay discs will soon wash into record stores, starting with re-releases of top-selling albums by the likes of Britney Spears, 'N Sync, Pink, Usher, OutKast, Sarah McLachlan and Brooks & Dunn, BMG record executives say. Some musicians, including Carlos Santana, are scheduled to have new albums released simultaneously on CD and DataPlay.
"But overall costs of DataPlay players and media may present an early stumbling block to widespread acceptance, some consumer electronics retailers warn. Prerecorded DataPlay discs will basically be priced more like a DVD than a CD, from $18 to $22. And the first DataPlay music player and burner, the iDP-100 by iRiver America, is relatively expensive at $350; MP3 players with 20 gigabytes of memory, or 40 times the capacity of a DataPlay disc, are available for as little as $300."
