Using “Memory Stick
®
” media
What is “Memory Stick
®
” media?
“Memory Stick ® ” media is a new compact, portable and versatile Integrated
Circuit recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds a floppy disk.
“Memory Stick” media is specially designed for exchanging and sharing
digital data among “Memory Stick” media compatible products such as a
digital video camera. Because it is removable, “Memory Stick” media can
also be used for external data storage.
“Memory Stick” media allows you to exchange data between your CLIE
handheld and your computer or a digital camera that supports “Memory
Stick” media. To exchange data via “Memory Stick” media, your CLIE
handheld uses the supplied Memory Stick Gate (MS Gate) software.
Types of “Memory Stick” media
There are two types of “Memory Stick” media:
• “MagicGate Memory Stick” media equipped with “MagicGate” copyright
protection technology. “MagicGate Memory Stick” media is distinguished
by the
logo.
• “Memory Stick” media that is not equipped with “MagicGate” copyright
protection technology.
Your CLIE handheld supports both types of “Memory Stick” media.
To play back OpenMG audio files, however, make sure to use “MagicGate
Memory Stick” media.
To play back MP3 files, you can use a purple regular “Memory Stick” media.
(You can also use “MagicGate Memory Stick” media. )
What is “MagicGate”?
“MagicGate” is a copyright protection technology for “MagicGate Memory Stick”
media and compliant products, such as your CLIE handheld. Authentication ensures
that protected content is transferred only between compliant devices and “MagicGate
Memory Stick” media, and that protected content is recorded and transferred in an
encoded format to prevent unauthorized copying or playback.
Note on using “MagicGate Memory Stick” media
If you use MS Gate or Windows ® Explorer to copy a protected file onto a “MagicGate
Memory Stick” media or if you handle a folder containing a protected file, the file may
be disabled. To handle the copyright-protected file, use a “MagicGate” compliant
application such as OpenMG Jukebox.
