Apple and Real conflict over music
downloads and players 08/07/2004 11:52 AM

Apple and Real Networks are feuding over access to Apple's popular iPod music player. Real released Harmony , an application which allows users to play music downloaded from Real's online music store in, among other players, the iPod. The iPod is designed to play music downloaded from iTunes , its popular online music store , and especially those encoded with Apple's Advanced Audio Codec ( AAC ) standard. Apple attacked the move, and threatened a programming reaction:

"We are stunned that RealNetworks has adopted the tactics and ethics of a hacker Latest News about hacker to break into the iPod, and we are investigating the implications of their actions under the DMCA [Digital Millenium Copyright Act] and other laws. We strongly caution Real and their customers that when we update our iPod software from time to time, it is highly likely that Real's Harmony technology will cease to work with current and future iPods."

Real, whose CEO had asked Apple to open the iPod to other file formats earlier this year , reiterated its request.

Sony will support MP3 in portable
digital music players 09/23/2004 11:15 AM
Xeni Jardin: Sony confirmed yesterday that it plans to add native MP3 support to digital music players, in a move that will likely help the products compete more effectively with more popular competitors like Apple's iPod. Until now, the Sony devices were designed to only play files encoded with Sony's proprietary Atrac music file format.

The shift from reliance on its proprietary format will begin with flash memory-based players, the electronics giant said, but plans are still being finalized on how and when products will add MP3 support. CNET News.com affiliate ZDNet France first reported of the change in Sony's strategy for the European market. U.S. representatives said the company is making similar plans here.

Steve Jobs has admitted in the past that Apple isn't looking to make money off of iTunes. Instead, they view iTunes as a loss leader for selling more iPods - where they make their real margin. So, it's a bit surprising that Roxio appears to be going in the other direction. They're now giving away an MP3 player to anyone who signs up for one year of Napster. Of course, it's a cheap MP3 player with only 128 megs of storage, but the concept is still the same.
