Notes on Memory Stick media
What is Memory Stick media?
Memory Stick media is a new compact, portable and versatile Integrated
Circuit recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds that of a floppy
disk. The Memory Stick media is specially designed for exchanging and
sharing digital data among Memory Stick media compatible products.
Because it is removable, a Memory Stick media can also be used for external
data storage.
Types of Memory Stick media
There are two types of Memory Stick media:
– “MagicGate Memory Stick” media (hereafter referred to as MG Memory
Stick) (white).
– Memory Stick media (purple).
You can use either Memory Stick media type to play back MP3 format audio
files.
Notes
• You cannot play ATRAC3 audio files that are recorded or converted by OpenMG
Jukebox software with Audio Player for Adapter.
• Your CLIÉ handheld supports Memory Stick media with a capacity of up to 128 MB.
Notes on use
To avoid damaging data, do not
• remove the Memory Stick media or unplug the AC power adaptor during
reading or writing of data.
• use the Memory Stick media in a location subject to static electricity or
electric noise.
TOC reading time depends on the number of songs
When you start Audio Player for Adapter, the application starts reading the
TOC information including the song name, artist name and so on of the
Memory Stick media.
Depending on the number of songs stored in the Memory Stick media, it
may take a few seconds to do this. You cannot operate Audio Player for
Adapter while it is reading the TOC information; this is not malfunction.
