Playback

Before Playback

The following procedures using the SonicStage installed on your computer are necessary before playback.

Importing tracks (audio data), which you want to listen to with the player, to your computer (right)

Transferring audio data from your computer to the player (page 14)

Playable audio data

This player can play audio data compressed in the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 formats. ATRAC3 (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3) is an audio compression technology that satisfies the demand for high sound quality and high compression rates. ATRAC3plus is developed from the ATRAC3 format and can compress audio files to about 1/20 of their original size at 64 kbps.

Importing audio data to your computer

Record and store tracks (audio data) from an audio CD to the SonicStage “My Library” on the hard disk drive of your computer.

You can record or import tracks from other sources such as the Internet and your computer’s hard disk. Refer to SonicStage Help for details (page 16).
