Sony’s annoucement today that it’s music software will be compatible with Apple’s audio format, AAC is another signal of Apple’s continued dominance in the music field.
Sony has for many years kept to a strategy of holding on to its Atrac system. Yet a question arises in the industry, like many other industries: the long term success of proprietary platforms such as Apple’s vs. industry open solutions. Maybe Sony’s strategy might be more appealing to consumers in the long run as the proliferation of devices continues (both with types of devices and various brands)
