SonicStage Software

SonicStage™ is a software application that utilizes copyright protection technology from Sony Corporation. SonicStage maintains the holder’s copyrights by preventing unauthorized distribution of digital audio files. SonicStage software lets you play and record from audio CDs and import digital audio files while maintaining copyright information.

When you record from an audio CD using SonicStage, the audio file is encoded in ATRAC3 format onto your computer’s hard drive. Downloading digital audio files from Electronic Music Distribution (EMD) services enables the imported data to be played on your computer, or transferred to external devices or media. SonicStage converts your existing MP3 and WAV format audio files into ATRAC3 format.
