Sony Hi-Fi Adds MP3 Support (Kind of)

  February 18th, 2005



Sony Hi-Fi Adds MP3 Support (Kind of)Inspired by TechJapan: Sony has somewhat improved on the design of their Net Juke stereo system, by adding MP3 support to their NAS-A10. Able to playback from a variety of media, the Net Juke can play your tunes from its internal 40GB hard drive, CD-ROM drive, Memory Stick reader, or streamed across a LAN via 10/100 Ethernet. You can also connect a Net MD player via USB 2.0 to transfer your favorite songs to the HDD.

The main drawback is that Sony is still spoon-feeding its proprietary ATRAC format, only allowing MP3s to be played back from CD and Memory Stick. All this and an FM tuner come at a whopping 63,000 Japanese Yen, or $598.
