And more Sony news for you, though parent company Sony Corp this time. The US division of the entertainments conglom has bought Gracenote, the music identification resource we all tap each time we put a new album into iTunes. Gracenote operates a number of music recognition and lyric services, including providing music ID for home and car audio systems and mobile music players, as well as identifying albums and track names when they are played on a PC via things like iTunes. Sony Corp US says Gracenote will continue to operate as an independent concern within the group, though other Sony businesses will look at how they can use Gracenote's expertise to enhance their own services.
