Sony To Buy Gracenote
According to Slashdot, Sony is buying Gracenote for $260 million. Gracenote is the commercialized version of CDDB, a previously open project that was a database of CD song titles. Gracenote currently supplies CD info to a variety of media players including iTunes.
Given Sony’s apparent desire to render everything into completely proprietary formats, I’d suspect that this might provide the stimulus for a competing database effort.
