What is “Memory Stick” media?
“Memory Stick” media is a new, compact, and portable Integrated Circuit
recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds a floppy disk. “Memory
Stick” media is specially designed for exchanging and sharing 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 enables you to exchange data between your CLIÉ
handheld and computer. To exchange data via “Memory Stick” media, your
CLIÉ handheld uses the supplied CLIE Files application.
Types of “Memory Stick” media
There are two types of “Memory Stick” media:
• “MagicGate Memory Stick” media, which is equipped with “MagicGate”
copyright protection technology.
• “Memory Stick” media, which is not equipped with “MagicGate” copyright
protection technology.
You can use both types of “Memory Stick” media with your CLIÉ handheld.
However, to play ATRAC3 format files, make sure to use “MagicGate
Memory Stick” media.
What is MagicGate?
MagicGate is the copyright protection technology that is utilized for
“MagicGate Memory Stick” media or MagicGate compatible devices such as
a CLIÉ handheld. MagicGate certifies the device and “MagicGate Memory
Stick” media as copyright-protection-compatible devices and encodes data to
be played back on devices. The copyrighted data cannot be played back on a
device not certificated.
Note on using “MagicGate Memory Stick” media
Do not handle copyright-protected files or directories stored in “MagicGate
Memory Stick” media with the CLIE Files application or Windows
®
Explorer,
the file may be disabled. To handle copyright-protected files, use a
“MagicGate” compliant application such as the SonicStage software.
