Dataplay Ready to Launch
geophile writes "Let's see. This is a CD-like, CD-incompatible storage medium with
lower storage capacity than a CD; copying, which is supported by CDs
and permitted by fair-use laws is not possible; and it's more
expensive than a CD. Read about this great idea here." We've done a couple of stories on the Dataplay discs; this one discusses the heavy content controls built-in. MSNBC had an article on Dataplay a few weeks ago that mentions an "education process" needed to get people to re-buy all their old music in a new format.

Ahahahah! Oh puhlease! All the MD boosters should get into this millenium already!
I can buy a 3" CD (for which the player is give or take a similar size to an MD player) for under $1.50. It holds 2 albums at virtually CD quality. Can you buy two MDs for that price? Can you even buy one?
I think not.
