Notes on 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 that of a floppy disk. The Memory Stick media is specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data among Memory Stick media compatible products. Because it is removable, a Memory Stick media can also be used for external data storage.
Types of Memory Stick media
There are two types of Memory Stick media. Standard Memory Stick media and MagicGate Memory Stick media which is equipped with the copyright protection technology (MagicGate). You can use both types on your CLIÉ handheld.
However, you need to use the MagicGate Memory Stick media when you play back ATRAC3-format music files recorded or converted using the SonicStage software with the Audio Player application.
What is MagicGate?
MagicGate is a copyright protection technology for MagicGate Memory Stick media and compliant products, such as your CLIÉ 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 encrypted format to prevent unauthorized copying or playback.
Your CLIÉ handheld is also compatible with Memory Stick Duo
media .
You can use Memory Stick PRO media by updating your CLIÉ
handheld.

On the TOC reading time
When you start the Audio Player application, the application starts reading the TOC information such as the song name and artist name
of the songs in the Memory Stick media.
Depending on the number of songs stored in the Memory Stick media, this may take a few seconds. You cannot operate the Audio
Player application while it is reading the TOC information; this is not a malfunction.

To format the Memory Stick media, use devices compatible with Memory Stick media.
