The Music Clip Player is a portable audio player that allows you to

converts the existing MP3 and WAV format audio files into OpenMG

format. (WAV format audio files are converted into ATRAC3 format,

and MP3 format audio files are converted into ATRAC3 format or

encoded without changing the format.)

The OpenMG Jukebox encrypts sound data in OpenMG format and

stores it on the hard disk of your computer to prevent unauthorized

distribution.

being illegally delivered over a network.

Music Clip Player (Check out) and transfer it from the Music Clip

Player to your computer (Check in).

Check in/out restrictions:

You cannot check out the same song more than three times (excluding

certain songs). 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 the Check out.

For details, see "Terminology" on page 31.

Restrictions on sound data

Some sound data is distributed with restrictions on recording or

playback of the data to maintain of its holders' copyright.

For example, songs which have playback period restrictions can be

played back only within the given period of time.
