iDP-100 Functions as Digital Music Player, Recorder and Media Burner With Ability to Store 11 Hours of Music on One DataPlay Digital Media

iRiver's iDP-100, developed in conjunction with DataPlay's technology offers consumers a single device for digital music, recording, external storage and optical media burning. Users can play up to 11 hours of user-recorded or pre-recorded content on one DataPlay digital media, which has a 500MB capacity in a package about the size of a quarter. DataPlay has formed strategic partnerships with Universal Music Group, The EMI Group and BMG entertainment for the release of pre-recorded albums on DataPlay. iRiver's iDP-100 and DataPlay digital media support multiple functions including MP3, WMA, AAC and QDX formats.

``Our partnership with iRiver for the iDP-100 allows us to further our goal of establishing DataPlay as the most pervasive digital media solution on the market,'' said Todd Oseth, senior vice president of corporate development at DataPlay. ``We are confident iRiver is delivering top quality and reliable products to consumers.''

``With DataPlay consumers have access to music that is pre-recorded, downloaded from the Internet or created themselves,'' said Chris Papazian, marketing manager of iRiver. ``Consumers now require a product with the flexibility to use this audio anywhere and at anytime. In co-developing the iDP-100 with DataPlay, technology can now meet consumers' demands of today and the future.''
