Sony to upgrade older music player to play MP3 files

Oct 17, 04 03:24 PM PDT

This could be huge for owners of Sony Digital Music Players. It is said that Sony will offer upgrades to older ATRAC3 (Sony's proprietary format) players and turn them into MP3 players. MP3 is the dominant music file format.

Sony also plans to offer software to upgrade existing digital music players so they, too, can play MP3s.
"It will be done within a short while," Robert Ashcroft, Sony Europe's senior vice president of network services. [via nynewsday]
