Sweet! Now people can’t say proprietary about Fair Play anymore.

OMG? OMG!

Hopefully this means that Apple has decided to license Fairplay. I, for one, want more product choices that play songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store.

Soooooooonyyyyyyy!!! Come onnnn . . . what's with de names? "NAS-CZ1"??? It sounds like a bulletin about a new disease from the National Institute of Health.

No, but really, this thing looks like a belt sander I used to own! But hey, Sony -- I give you a little credit: At least this thing works with iTunes. Good for you, you uncreative fools! And yes, by 'uncreative' I am implying that your names still suck!!!

Hey, I keed. I keed the Asian electronics community.

yeah, it's still another "not iPod". Apple might not turn such a large profit this quarter so then their stock will go through the roof!!!

If you can't bea 'em join 'em !!!

beat

Actually sounds more like a Nazi - maybe I have too much time on my hands...

Whats wrong with belt sanders?

I like the look of that thing.

The worst looking product is the iBoom baster that lets you dock your iPod.

Belt sanders are gay.

And so's a stupid product named NAS-CZ1.

Looks like a giant caca tank.

Crappy HP laptop keyboard. Should have bought an iBook or Powerbook.

Blaster----

I don't see anything on that page that says it supports DRM'd music. I haven't been able to find anything anywhere that does. Even the footnote marks beside the music stores don't show up on that page.

Too early to call shenanigans, but I'm still looking.

This has got to be the stupidest name -- NAS-CZ1 --- you know that it is going to be pronounced NAZI unless Sony can put some spin on it.

UGH

Hmmmmm... I can ONLY see this thing being called the NAZ1 music box.

Sony better work on that...

Wow, nobody caught on yet to the fact that it does not work with a Mac.

Must be Monday.

I don't have a problem with sony and Apple working together at all, as long as Apple keeps control.

It's not a music server.. it's a speaker system, dudes. It's probably compatible with AirTunes, at best. At worst, you plug it into your headphone jack just like any other stereo.

How can they name a product after my dog? This on really rolls of the tongue doesn't it?

Look - triumphboy has blessed us with his intelligence again!!! Thankyou o superior uebermind. The way you bless us with the jive phonetics of a 12 years old crack-head is a joy.

You can't spell "beat" without b-e-t-a.

"You know we do work very closely with Sony on digital still cameras and these new camcorders which is really great. and who knows, maybe someday computers and music too."

-Steve Jobs @ MWSF '05

At least we know what he meant.

Now about those computers...

Excuse me, but isn't iTunes3 rather passée... even Windows Media is in its 10th incarnation for PC anyway.

Man, where do they get their names??? Do they not hear the closeness to Nazi?

I'm surprised Hp didn't do there juke box unless its coming....

going to get one for the pool room

all about eve: "Thankyou o superior uebermind."

Listen, stoner . . . you don't want to mess with this canine!

And if you knew how to use English correctly you would have written "Thank you, O' superior uber-mind." You FOOL!!!

Oh, by the way -- You're welcome.

Yes, 'all about eve', you're welcome . . .

FOR . . . ME . . . TO . . . POOP . . . ONNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!

whut, no OGG support?!?!?!! Whut the hell!!!!!

Boy, anonymity really brings out the weirdoes to these boards doesn't it?

This is very big. Good Job Steve! Another end run around the competition. This should hopefully help diffuse that bull hockey the US Congress was spouting.

There is software for the PC that makes this work. It says so in their press release. Sony does not make Mac software. I tell ya this won't work with a Mac.

This is the same company that designed the PSP?!?

Amazing!

Just a quick one, where in the press release does it mention it is capable of Fairplay AAC tunes? And since when does 'The Inquirer' stack up to be a top journalistic product? Even their web site article jumps to the conclusion of Fairplay acceptance. Just because Apple met with Sony last year does not indicate that this piece of equipment will play Fairplay AAC tunes. It's like using the logic of: A table has four legs, and a dog has four legs, therefore a table is a dog.
Yeah the kit sounds good, but I think I'll wait to properly determine if it actually is what this 'report' claims.

iTunes 3?

That thing looks massive. No way you are going to carry that around in your pocket.

Just off topic a bit, check this new Xserve cluster out
http://www.cse.uiuc.edu/turing/

it's still Sony, and therefore crap.

Out of Date,
"Excuse me, but isn't iTunes3 rather passée... even Windows Media is in its 10th incarnation for PC anyway."
From the original page the 3 was superscript, they just didn't format it that way here which is why it looks like iTunes3. They should have either superscripted it correctly or left it out so that there's no confusion.

birdeed,
It doesn't. In fact in searching, the ONLY place where you'll see iTunes Music Store mentioned is The Inquirer and the Mac websites. I too fail to see where they draw the connection.

I too think "Nazi" when I see "NAS-CZ1." Oh well...
