Sensory Science - Rave MP2300 Digital Music Player
In July 2000, Digital MP3 players had only been around for a few years and were running out of storage space rapidly. Sensory Science was one of the first manufacturers to adopt the Iomega Clik disks as a storage medium. With 40mb onboard each disk, a user could realistically get 7-10 songs per disk based on encoding and song length. At the time this was a nice jump in capacity and the disks were a small, handy way to store your music.

This month, the first digital player using Clik technology, the Rave MP 2300 by Sensory Science, reached the market. Iomega officials said seven players with built-in Clik drives by other manufacturers -- including one by Iomega itself -- are expected to be available before the end of the year.

HARDWARE Can your MP3 player hold more than one album? Flash-memory cards are expensive, and most people don’t even own more than one. But Sensory Science’s Rave MP 2300 boasts unlimited capacity by using cheap-ish, removable Clik! disks. The small, 40-Mbyte magnetic disks cost less than $20 a pop (10-packs go for a C-note)
