Overview
What you can do with “Network Walkman”
Network Walkman is a portable IC audio player. You can easily transfer digital sound data from
your computer to Network Walkman.
The OpenMG compliant software “OpenMG Jukebox,” which is supplied with your Network
Walkman enables you to store digital music data on your computer’s hard drive, manage
playlists, and transfer music to Network Walkman.
The supplied OpenMG Jukebox software allows you to import digital sound data to the hard
drive of your computer as follows:
– downloads sound data provided by Electronic Music Distribution (EMD) services over digital
networks such as the Internet (Please refer to the online help.)
– records audio CDs onto the hard drive of your computer (the imported tracks are compressed
and encoded in ATRAC3 format) (See pages 13 – 14.)
– encodes the existing MP3 and WAV format audio files to ATRAC3 and encrypts them in
OpenMG format. (Please refer to the online help.)
The OpenMG Jukebox encrypts sound data in OpenMG format and stores it on the hard drive of
your computer to prevent unauthorized distribution.
