What is “Memory Stick” media?
“Memory Stick” media is a new, compact, and portable Integrated Circuit
recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds a floppy disk. “Memory
Stick” media is specially designed for exchanging and sharing data among
“Memory Stick” media compatible products, such as a digital video camera,
etc. Because it is removable, “Memory Stick” media can also be used for
external data storage.
“Memory Stick” media enables you to exchange data between your CLIÉ
handheld and your computer. To exchange data via “Memory Stick” media,
your CLIÉ handheld uses
Memory Stick Gate .
Types of “Memory Stick” media
There are two types of “Memory Stick” media:
• “MagicGate Memory Stick” media, which is equipped with “MagicGate”
copyright protection technology.
• “Memory Stick” media, which is not equipped with “MagicGate” copyright
protection technology.
You can use both types of “Memory Stick” media with your CLIÉ handheld.

to play ATRAC3 format files.
