Sony to Support Apple Digital Music Format

Authored by dmw on May 10, 2006 - 4:10am.
San Francisco - In response to Apple's dominance of the digital music market, Sony this week made its own data compression technology that shrinks music and video files compatible with Apple's AAC format, CNET News.com reported. The change will enable the exchange of songs between iPod and Sony Walkman players via a PC, but will still not allow songs purchased from Apple's iTunes Store to play on Sony devices. Sony also included support for AAC in a software update for the Japanese version of its PSP handheld game device.
