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.
