Sony Corporation of America has signed a merger agreement with Gracenote in a
deal worth approximately $260m.
Gracenote, best known for its music identification service, will continue to
operate separately from the Japanese giant.
The digital media services firm will develop new technologies in existing and
new areas of operation as a wholly-owned Sony subsidiary. Senior management will
remain in place.
Tim Schaaff, senior vice president of software at Sony, said: "Sony sees
tremendous growth potential in developing Gracenote as a separately run business
unit.
"By broadly embracing Gracenote's platforms, Sony expects to significantly
enhance and accelerate its own digital content, service and device initiatives.
