OpenMG Jukebox
OpenMG Jukebox is a software application that utilizes Sony Corporation’s
copyright protection technology. OpenMG Jukebox maintains the holder’s
copyrights by preventing unauthorized distribution of digital audio files.
OpenMG Jukebox software enables you to play and record audio CDs and import
digital audio files while maintaining the copyright information of the contents.
When you record an audio CD with OpenMG Jukebox, it is encoded in ATRAC3
format onto your notebook’s hard drive. You can download digital audio files

played on your notebook or transferred to external devices or media. OpenMG
Jukebox converts your existing MP3 and WAV format audio files into OpenMG
format (WAV format audio files are converted into ATRAC3 format or changed
into OpenMG MP3 format).
