Using Memory Stick Media
This compact, portable, and versatile recording medium has a data capacity
exceeding that of a floppy disk. The medium is specially designed for
exchanging and sharing digital data with compatible products. Because it is
removable, the media can be used for external data storage.
Types of Memory Stick media
The following two types of Memory Stick media can be used with your
notebook:
❑
MagicGate™ Memory Stick media (hereafter called MG Memory Stick
media), which is provided with copyright protection
❑
Memory Stick Memory Stick media, which does not have the same
copyright protection as MagicGate Memory Stick media
Some music files with secure copyright protection may be stored on MG
Memory Stick media but not on regular Memory Stick media.You can also use
MagicGate media-compatible devices to record and playback music when they
are connected to your notebook.
You can store mixed data on the Memory Stick media. For example, you can
copy an ordinary file on a MG Memory Stick media that already contains music.
