Using your notebook
Types of Memory Stick™ media
Two types of Memory Stick™ are available. The first type, MagicGate Memory Stick™ (hereafter
referred as MG Memory Stick), is provided with copyright protection. The second type, simply referred to
as Memory Stick™, does not have the same copyright protection as MagicGate.
You can use both types with your notebook.
For music, which requires copyright protection, you can only use MG Memory Stick with your notebook.
You can also use MagicGate-compatible devices to record and playback music when they are connected to
your computer.
You can store mixed data on the MG Memory Stick. For example, you can copy an image on to an
MG Memory Stick that already contains music.
