following specifications.
• Format: MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3)
• Sampling frequency: 44.1 kHz
• Bit rate: 32 to 128 kbps
• File extension: .mp3 or .rmp
Note
Depending on the audio file, you may not be able to play some files even if they

CLIÉ handheld
There are two types of Memory Stick media. One is the standard
Memory Stick media (color: purple), and the other is the MagicGate

About Bit Rates
In OpenMG Jukebox, the bit rate for recording an audio CD can be chosen from
among 132 kbps/105 kbps/66 kbps. The sound quality and available recording
time after the conversion will be different depending on the selected bit rate. A
Higher value makes the sound quality better, but the size of the recorded data file
will be bigger thus shortening the total Check-Out time available on your CLIÉ
handheld.
Likewise, a lower value means lower sound quality, but lengthens the total
Check-Out time available on your CLIÉ handheld.
When you use an optional 128 MB MG Memory Stick media, you can record for
approximately the following length of time:
•When you record at 132 kbps: approx. 120 min.
•When you record at 105 kbps: approx. 160 min.
•When you record at 66 kbps: approx. 240 min.
Importing songs via EMD
What is an Electronic Music Distribution (EMD) service?
EMD stands for Electronic Music Distribution, which is a generic name
for services that distribute digital audio content via the Internet or
other kinds of networks.

Notes
• The original MP3/WAV files imported are referenced to by the OpenMG
Jukebox when playing back or Checking-Out the data. Therefore, to prevent
moving or deleting the files, copy them to a specific folder on the hard disk
before importing them to OpenMG Jukebox.
If the original file is stored on removable media and the source media is
removed, the following messages are displayed when you try to playback or
Check-Out the data.
–For playback: “Cannot play selected song. The song file not found.”
–For Check-Out: “Detected song(s) which cannot be checked-out.”
• When the original file is on a network, the same messages are displayed when
your computer is not connected to the network.
• When you delete an audio file, note that the original MP3/WAV is also
deleted when you select “Delete the song file from the computer.”
Hint
• You can import all of the audio files on the drive dedicated on your computer
to OpenMG Jukebox at one time. For details, refer to “Importing audio files
from your computer” - “Importing songs” in the OpenMG Jukebox Help.
• If the music title is included in the data, as it is in the ID3 data of MP3 format
files, the title is displayed in the Title column of the Playlist view of OpenMG
Jukebox. If the title data is not included, the file name is displayed in the Title
column.
