Meaning of SecuMAX System Application
Most legal Internet MP3 service sites adopt SecuMAX and YEPP of Samsung and several compa-
nies have hardware supporting SecuMAX among MP3 players currently distributed. Then, user
needs to receive MP3 applied with SecuMAX to receive legal service. It is required to have program
that can play back MP3 applied with SecuMAX technology in MP3 player. For example, since YEPP
supports SecuMAX, it can play back, but it means that you cannot play back this at the players of
other companies that do not support SecuMAX.
At present, organization has been formed for standardization of reproduction prevention system in
foreign countries. Samsung Electronics has also participated in this standard using SecuMAX and
completed development of SecuMAX 2.0 with world compatibility.
