 o Sensory Science has announced the [1]Rave:MP2300, an MP3 player that 
   uses [2]Iomega Clik discs. The $10 discs store 40MB on 2" magnetic 
   media (cf. MD's $3, 160MB, 2.5" MO disc). So what's it got over MD? 
   Well, capability for high speed download over a USB port and direct 
   computer access to the audio data (until [3]SDMI phase 2 kicks in 
   that is).
