VAIO® AV Applications
OpenMG™ Jukebox 2.0
OpenMG Jukebox is a software application that utilizes Sony Corporation’s copyright protection technology. OpenMG Jukebox maintains the holder’s copyrights by preventing unauthorized distribution of digital audio files.
OpenMG Jukebox software lets you play and record audio CDs and import digital audio files while maintaining the copyright information of the contents. When you record an audio CD with OpenMG Jukebox, it is encoded in ATRAC3 format onto your computer’s hard drive. You can download digital audio files from Electronic Music Distribution (EMD) services. The imported data can be played on your computer or transferred to external devices or media. OpenMG Jukebox converts your existing MP3 and WAV format audio files into OpenMG format (WAV format audio files are converted into ATRAC3 format or changed into OpenMG MP3 format).
Your VAIO computer ships with OpenMG Jukebox 2.0 installed. Other external devices that are compatible with OpenMG Jukebox may contain an earlier version of the software (Version 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2). Do not install an earlier version of OpenMG Jukebox on your computer, as this may cause the software to work improperly or damage your audio files.
