Using “Memory Stick™” media
What is “Memory Stick” media?
“Memory Stick” media is a compact, portable and versatile 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. 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.
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 music files of ATRAC3 format, make sure to use
“MagicGate Memory Stick” media.
*What is MagicGate?
MagicGate is the copyright protection technology that is used for “MagicGate Memory
Stick” media or MagicGate compatible devices such as a CLIÉ handheld. MagicGate
certifies the compatible 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.
“Memory Stick Duo” and “MagicGate Memory Stick Duo” can be also used
with your CLIÉ handheld.
“Memory Stick PRO**” can be used, but upgrading is required.
**However, you cannot record or play back the copyright protected files using
MagicGate.
For details, refer to our official Sony CLIÉ website on the back cover.

Memory Stick” media with the CLIE Files application or Windows
®
Explorer,
the file may be disabled. To handle copyright-protected files, use a
