Sony caves on AAC - SteveJobs - 05-10-2006
okay?
Re: AAC has become VHS (Sony crumbles to Apple's standard) - Seacrest - 05-10-2006
Not a good analogy.
A digital media player can support many formats concurrently, while VHS and beta were limited by physical forms.
Also, the ATRAC format was proprietary to Sony, while mp3 and AAC can be licensed by anyone.

thanks for clearing that up, oracle.
