New Technology may Replace CDs forever!
InterTrust, the company that specializes
in Digital Rights Management (DRM) software, and Data- Play, a startup, are on the verge of releasing a new product, which they claim would eventually replace the CD. This would be a part of a portable media distribution platform for protected content such as music. Music distribution companies like Universal, EMI and BMG are all planning to release prerecorded music on DataPlay digital media for use in multiple consumer electronic devices. This new media would be able to hold about 11 hours of music, which is much greater than current CD capacities. The blank media would be priced at between $5 and $10 while pre-recorded ones will be priced more or less equivalent to the current CD price. The companies hope that markets would soon get used to the new media, and adopt it because of the greater capacity. Users would have to upgrade to devices that are compatible with the DataPlay media.
