4:00Now Playing"The CD went on to revolutionise the way we buy and listen to music, and nothing has come close to taking over from it... until now."
Tomorrow's World's Roger Black and Kate Humble look at the latest challenger to the compact disc's crown - dataplay. Dataplay is a fraction of the size of a traditional compact disc, but can hold ten times as much information. Is this the CD for the new millenium?
To test it, Tomorrow's World links up with Tom Robinson at the BBC's new digital music station, BBC 6 Music, where Kate uses the device to play a track live on air.
