Some mem stick products can't use magicgate. FWIW MG has encryption re music protection etc.
heres a sample,
The first thing that we need to say is very important. The Sony Portable Memory Stick Player is a digital music player, but it is not an MP3 player. Instead, Sony uses a proprietary compression scheme called ATRAC3 (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding 3) that is a competitor to the MP3 format.
While the unit comes with software to convert MP3 files to the ATRAC3 format, anyone who plans on purchasing this unit must be fully aware of what this means so there are no surprises.
Now go here and read the rest, http://www.mp3newswire.net/stories/2000/memorystic k.html
Lots of sites purport to have the sony software for free but I couldn't find it.
Dude, get an Ipod
