Overview
What you can do with “Memory Stick Walkman”
Memory Stick Walkman is a portable “Memory Stick” player. You can easily transfer digital
sound data from your computer to Memory Stick Walkman.
Two copyright protection technologies* “OpenMG” and “MagicGate” allow you to enjoy digital
music, while maintaining the copyrights of its holders.
The OpenMG compliant software “OpenMG Jukebox,” which is supplied with your Memory
Stick Walkman enables you to store digital music data on your computer’s hard drive, transfer it
to the Memory Stick Walkman and record it on “MagicGate Memory Stick.”
The supplied OpenMG Jukebox software allows you to import digital sound data to the hard
drive of your computer as follows:
– downloads sound data provided by Electronic Music Distribution (EMD) services over digital
networks such as the Internet
– records audio CDs onto the hard drive of your computer (the imported tracks are compressed
and encoded in ATRAC3 format)
– encodes the existing MP3 and WAV format audio files to ATRAC3 and encrypts them in
OpenMG format.
The OpenMG Jukebox encrypts sound data in OpenMG format and stores it on the hard drive of
your computer to prevent unauthorized distribution.
* The copyright protection technology of Memory Stick Walkman conforms to the SDMI (Secure Digital Music
Initiative) specifications.
