Types of Memory Stick media
You can use these types of Memory Stick media with your computer:
 MagicGate Memory Stick 1 media (hereafter called MG Memory Stick media), which is provided with copyright
protection
 Memory Stick 2 media, which does not have the same copyright protection as MagicGate media
Some music files encoded with secure copyright protection may be stored on MG Memory Stick media but not on regular
Memory Stick media. You can also use MagicGate media-compatible devices to record and playback music when they are
connected to your computer.
You can store mixed data on the Memory Stick media. For example, you can copy an image on to MG Memory Stick media
that already contains music.

MagicGate media provides copyright protection that consists of authentication and encryption technology. Authentication
technology ensures that protected content is only transferred between compliant devices and media. Protected content is
recorded and transferred in an encrypted format to prevent unauthorized duplication or playback.
MG Memory Stick media has the MG mark .
