About “SonicStage”
“SonicStage” is comprehensive software for enjoying music.
With “SonicStage,” you can enjoy listening to music sources such as music
CDs, etc., or you can import music into the hard disk of your PC for a
complete management of your collection.
Furthermore, music data that has been imported into the hard disk of your
PC can also be transferred to a “Memory Stick” or “Memory Stick Duo” so
that they can be enjoyed outside the PC environment.
Using “SonicStage” to listen to various music
sources
With “SonicStage,” you can play back the following music sources using
the simple, integrated mouse operations:
• Devices/tracks recorded on a media connected to the USB port of your
PC. (This is available using the main unit and “Memory Stick.”)
• Music CD
• Music files on your PC
• Music files provided by Internet music distribution services (EMD
services).
Creating a music database by importing music

that are stored in your PC.
Music files can be imported into “My Library” from various music sources
using the following methods:
• Record tracks from a music CD into “My Library.”
• Import music files already existing on your PC into “My Library.”
• Download music files from an Internet music distribution service and
