Sony is launching copy protected CDs that also include "a compressed digital copy of the music that can be quickly copied onto any computer. From the computer, users can copy that music onto Sony portable digital music players," says Reuters. "The CD's also allow users to connect to Web sites with exclusive features such as bonus songs and concert tickets." Sony will try the system in Germany before deciding whether to launch it in other countries.
Comment: no mention of ATRAC, Sony's proprietary music format, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't involved.....
