Using Memory Stick Media
Memory Stick® media is a compact, portable, and versatile recording medium
that has a data capacity exceeding that of a floppy disk. The medium is specially
designed for exchanging and sharing digital data with compatible products.
Because it is removable, the media can be used for external data storage.
Types of Memory Stick media
The following two types of Memory Stick media can be used with your
notebook:
❑ MagicGate™ Memory Stick
*
media (hereafter called MG Memory
Stick media), which is provided with copyright protection
❑ Memory Stick
†
media, which does not have the same copyright
protection as MagicGate media
Some music files encoded with secure copyright protection may be stored on
MG Memory Stick media but not on regular Memory Stick media. You can also
use MagicGate media-compatible devices to record and playback music when
they are connected to your notebook.
You can store mixed data on the Memory Stick media. For example, you can
copy an image on to MG Memory Stick media that already contains music.
What is MagicGate media?
MagicGate media provides copyright protection that consists of authentication
and encryption technology. Authentication technology ensures that protected
content is only transferred between compliant devices and media. Protected
content is recorded and transferred in an encrypted format to prevent
unauthorized duplication or playback.
