Software
SonicStage™ Premium software
*
is a unique integrated software application that
supports high quality digital audio playback and recording using the MiniDisc
drive, FM tuner, or DVD-RW drive of your VAIO® MX computer. You can easily
record your favorite music from external analog and digital audio devices, such as
a CD player. SonicStage Premium software has several jukebox features,
including a music Visualizer, audio CD-burning capability, and an equalizer for
fine-tuning your audio playback.
Overview of SonicStage Premium Software
SonicStage Premium software has unique features that integrate with your
MiniDisc drive, FM tuner and DVD-RW drive. The features expand the
compatibility of the built-in audio devices, enabling you to create your own
music database
(M drive) and share audio files using other audio media
and devices.
SonicStage Premium software enables you to play and record audio CDs and
import digital audio files while maintaining the copyright information of the
contents.
When you record an audio CD, it is encoded in ATRAC3 format onto your
computer’s hard disk drive. You can also download (import) digital audio files
from Electronic Music Distribution (EMD) services. The imported data can be
played on your computer or transferred to external portable audio devices or
media. SonicStage Premium software converts your existing MP3 and WAV
format audio files into ATRAC3 format.
* Your VAIO® MX computer has SonicStage™ Premium software preinstalled. Some manuals
or online help files may provide information about SonicStage™ software, which is a lighter
version with fewer features. Follow the information provided in this guide or in the
SonicStage Premium online Help file, to learn how to use SonicStage Premium software.

You have the option of formatting your audio files in ATRAC3, MP3 or WAV formats.
