Tired of the confusing mess of copy protection tools that keep some songs and videos from playing on your iPod or Napster player? So is Leonardo Chiariglione.
Microsoft is expected to soon unveil copy-protection software that will for the first time give portable digital music players access to tunes rented via all-you-can-eat subscription services--a development that some industry executives believe will shake up the online music business.
Taking aim at the dominance of Apple Computer, Microsoft this week is launching a test version of a revamped jukebox aimed at trying to knock iTunes down a peg.
RealNetworks is expected to announce Monday in the US that it has unlocked some of Apple Computer's most tightly held technology secrets, giving its music a way onto the popular iPod digital music player.
Windows makes it easy to quickly download files to iPods and other portable storage devices--a little too easy in the minds of many IT managers.
Microsoft's chairman looks ahead to how the music player might morph and tells why changes in Office 2007 are "such a big deal."
After much gossip and speculation, it looks like Apple is indeed working on a portable video player. But creating a device that's as easy to use as a music iPod won't be easy.
Analysis: For all the glitz surrounding the unveiling Monday of Apple Computer's new music service, a quick look suggests that it's a solid, but hardly revolutionary, addition to the market.
Apple ventures into new territory with its music service. But can it make the balance sheet sing?
