The New York Times
recently
reported about Sony playing catch-up to Apple in the
portable MP3 player market. That and a new
Squeezebox got me thinking;
I've spent about $1000 on MP3 hardware. And none of that has gone to a
traditional music or stereo manufacturer.
 Which is all a long-winded way of saying that the MP3 market is being owned by computer companies, not stereo companies. And it's nice, too. I love having 20 gigs of stuff in my car that I can sync to work. I love having 40 gigs of music on my stereo, letting me move from Górecki to Bach to Schönberg to Messiaen to Wendy Carlos without having to fumble for CDs. Isn't it amazing that companies like Sony missed it? |
