This rumor and speculation has been on about this for a while and now NYP has some more: it says that MSFT has quietly restarted licensing talks as a precursor to launching its own digital music store. Last month, Microsoft partnered with MTV on WMP 11 to launch Urge, a subscription music service.
Also, it is demoing the player to music execs: the device plays both video and MP3s, and some who have seen it say the quality of the video surpasses that of the video iPod, the story says.
