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 Memory Stick media, which does not have the same copyright protection as MagicGate Memory
Stick media
Some music files 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 ordinary file on a MG Memory Stick
media that already contains music.
