– recording audio CDs onto the hard disk of your computer (the recorded songs are encoded in ATRAC3 format),

What is OpenMG?

OpenMG is a copyright protection technology used when recording and playing back audio data on computers. OpenMG encrypts and saves digital audio data on a computer’s hard disk, and allows the audio data to be played back on that computer only, protecting it from being distributed over a network without permission.

The supplied OpenMG Jukebox software enables you to transfer the sound data stored on your computer’s hard disk to the Music Clip Player (Check out) and transfer it from the Music Clip Player to your computer (Check in).

Check in/Check out restrictions:

– You cannot check out the same song more than three times. (Certain songs are excluded from this restriction.) However, if you transfer a checked out song back to your computer (Check in), you can then check out the song again.

– You cannot check in songs checked out to the Music Clip Player to any computer other than the computer used for Check out.

For details, see “Glossary” on page 32.
