Using very small (32mm diameter) disks enclosed in a protective cartridge storing 250MB per side, DataPlay was intended primarily for portable music playback, including both pre-recorded disks and user-recorded disks (and disks that combined pre-recorded information with a writable area). DataPlay included an elaborate digital rights management system designed to allow consumers to "unlock" extra pre-recorded content on the disk at any time following the initial purchase. The recorded music industry was initially generally supportive of DataPlay and a small number of a pre-recorded DataPlay disks were released, including the Britney Spears album Britney. However, as a pre-recorded format, DataPlay was a failure. There were very few products seen on the market that could write data to these discs. Most notable{{cit|date=January 2012}} was the Topy Mini Writer, which retailed for $130 (USD){{cit|date=January 2012}} and housed an optical pickup unit (image No.4) with a USB interface board, allowing the use of DataPlay discs much like other end-user writable optical media (e.g., CD-Rs). Other noted{{cit|date=January 2012}} products were the iriver IDP-100 and the MTV Video Device "MTV FLIP",{{cit|date=January 2012}} which both housed the prototype-based model (image No.2).{{cit|date=January 2012}} Other trademark names:{{cit|date=January 2012}}
