Check-in/check-out
Music files imported into the hard disk (“Music Drive”) of your PC can be
transferred to a MagicGate compatible “Memory Stick” using an operation
referred to as “check out.”
When recording tracks from a music CD to a MagicGate compatible
“Memory Stick”, the check-out process is automatically performed by
“SonicStage”. The audio tracks are continuously recorded in “Music
Drive”, and are then checked out to the MagicGate compatible “Memory
Stick.”
Music files checked out automatically or using the above operation can be
played back outside the PC environment using devices such as a
MagicGate compatible “Memory Stick” compatible audio player.
Furthermore, checked out music files can be returned to “Music Drive”
using the “check in” operation.
Such “check-in/check-out” operations (processes) are for the protection of
copyrighted music contents. For this reason, the following rules and
restrictions apply:
Each music file has “the right for up to 3 check-
outs.”
Music files imported into “Music Drive” from a CD recording, etc., can be
simultaneously checked out to 3 different devices/media. Furthermore,
play back is possible from the original music file retained in “Music Drive”
even after checking out to 3 devices/media.
Checking in music files that have been checked out makes them available
for check out again.
Checked out music files can only be checked
into the PC where the check-out was made.
Music files checked out from another PC cannot be checked in.
For details concerning “check-in/check-out”, please refer to the
“SonicStage” Help.
PNote
Depending on the music file, the “check-out rights” may be set to other
than 3 or there may be restrictions concerning the period or number of
times the file can be played back. Any files deleted on a different PC are
read as checked in files upon reconnection to the PC used to check out the
MagicGate compatible “Memory Stick”. Therefore, the remaining check-
out number of music files in the PC returns automatically.
