Installing the software onto your computer
Before installing the software
• Make sure to close all Windows software programs. Especially, make sure to close any
virus-check software, as such software usually demands a large amount of system
resources.
• When you use the MD Walkman, make sure to install the software with the supplied CD-
ROM.
— If OpenMG Jukebox, SonicStage or Net MD Simple Burner is installed already, the
current software will be overwritten by the new version. The new version retains the
functions of the older version, but with new functions added.
— If SonicStage Premium or SonicStage Simple Burner is installed already, the current
software will co-exist with the new version.
— You will still be able to use music data registered by the older software version even
after the new SonicStage has been installed. As a precaution, we recommend that you
back up your music data. To back up the data, refer to [Backing Up My Library] on
SonicStage Help.
The method for managing music data differs in part from conventional methods. For
details, refer to [For Users of Earlier Versions of SonicStage] in SonicStage Help.
• Make sure to install SonicStage before connecting the MD Walkman to the computer
with the supplied USB cable.
