Create Your Own ATRAC CDs

In addition to the regular audio CDs, you can play original CDs (“ATRAC” CDs) that you created 
with the SonicStage software. Using SonicStage, about 30 audio CDs* can be recorded on one 
CD-R or CD-RW. SonicStage can be downloaded free of charge.
The following is a quick overview of how you listen to music on your ATRAC CD.

Listen to them with this CD player.

You can take lots of songs wherever you go on your 
original CD.

Create an ATRAC CD.

After selecting your favorite songs from music stored 
on your computer, record them on a CD-R/CD-RW 
using SonicStage.
