Volish iPod plan draws mirth from Apple fans



      Share

Free WMA for iTunes replacements. MICROSOFT IS hoping to convert iPod users by replacing iTunes format music for its own super soaraway format for free.

The software giant is about to launch its own ‘iPod killer’ around Crimbo with its own Volish formats. Under the cunning plan, Vole will scan iTunes for music that you have already bought from Apple and add them to your Microsoft account.

Vole will have to pay the Music industry millions to keep its lawyers off their backs but they feel that in the long term it will be worth it.

However, the move is being pooh-poohed at the Mac online fanzine MacDailyNews where it claims that it smacks of desperation from the software giant.
