SonicStage Software
The SonicStage™ software included with your computer is a powerful
digital music management system that enables you work with digital music from
audio CDs and from the Internet. You can play music on your computer, create
custom audio CDs, and check music out to portable digital music devices, such
as Net MD™ players and Network Walkman™ Digital Music Players.
SonicStage software employs Sony’s OpenMG™ copyright protection
technology and advanced ATRAC3™ audio file format to allow you to enjoy
digital music while protecting the rights of copyright holders.
You can enjoy digital music with SonicStage software in a wide variety of ways:
❑
Play and record music from audio CDs
SonicStage software enables you to play your audio CDs and record audio
tracks to your computer. Music tracks recorded to your computer can be
combined into Playlists and checked out to portable music devices so you
can take your music with you.
❑
Create custom audio CDs
On computer models equipped with a CD recording device, you can create
custom audio CDs from your SonicStage Playlists, mixing tracks from
different sources and artist.
❑ Make backup copies of your audio CDs
On computer models equipped with a CD recording device, SonicStage
software’s Backing Up Audio CDs utility makes it easy to create backup
copies of your audio CDs.
❑
Use Playlists to organize and manage your music
SonicStage software’s powerful, hierarchical Playlist feature enables you to
organize the music you’ve imported into the SonicStage program. You can
create lists of songs categorized by artist or genre and place a shortcut to a
list onto your Microsoft® Windows® desktop for one-click playback of your
favorite music.
