MagicGate Memory Stick media is the audio media for the Internet age. It features solid state IC memory with no moving parts, and uses copyright protection for legal downloading of music from the Internet. It's the first recording media to comply with the music industry's SDMI (Secure Digital Music Initiative), and has the potential to spark an increase in the quantity and quality of music available for downloading, because content providers will know their offerings are secure in the players of the people who download them.
Storing up to 240 minutes of music, MagicGate Memory Stick media can also be used with other compatible Memory Stick devices such as digital still cameras, camcorders, PCs, and voice recorders.
MagicGate is copyright-protection technology that consists of authentication technology and encryption technology. Authentication ensures that protected content is transferred only between compliant devices and media, and that protected content is recorded and transferred in an encrypted format to prevent unauthorized copying or playback.

An overpriced commodity,
By
This review is from: Sony 128 MB MagicGate Memory Stick (MSG128A) (Personal Computers)
I think it's well worth buying a 64MB or, even better, this 128MB memory stick with a new Sony camera (that's what I did) but I don't see any reason to pay the premium in price between the Sony version and those made by competitors like Lexar, ScanDisk and others.Sony will tell you that part of the speed of the camera depends to a large degree on the way the in-camera computer can access the memory card, but I have read articles that say that is just a tiny piece of the equation. And from experience, I can say that I see no difference in quality between my Sony card and the one from Lexar. In the end, I give this card only three stars for reasons not related to quality but to price. These memory sticks have become simple commodities, like rice, cement or gasoline, and so the deciding factor in any comparison shopping should be price rather than brand. I would (and do) pay extra for Sony quality when it comes to digital cameras and other high-tech equipment, but I don't see a reason for it when it comes to memory sticks.

The Truth About MP3s and Clies,
This review is from: Sony 128 MB MagicGate Memory Stick (MSG128A) (Personal Computers)
Many people will tell you that if you want to listen to MP3s on your Clie, you need to get a MagicGate MemoryStick. That's not quite the case...It is true to say that if you use the music software that comes with the Clie, you will need a MagicGate MemoryStick. The Sony software uses Digital Rights Management (DRM), and only allows you to make a small number of copies of each music file, so you can't illegally share music with other people. However, the audio player on the Clie is capable of playing normal MP3 files as well as DRM protected ones. So if you want you can just copy across regular MP3 files to a regular MemoryStick and listen to them. What's more the Clie comes with software to allow you to mount the MemeoryStick as a Windoze drive while the Clie is in its cradle, so you can just use Explorer to copy the files across. If you've already bought MagicGate MemorySticks, you can copy MP3s on to them too if you don't want to use the DRM software that comes with the Clie. Having said that, if you're in the USA, I'm not sure if you'd be allowed to put regular non-DRM MP3s on MagicGate MemorySticks. It might constitute an offence under the DMCA, along the lines of circumnavigating encryption technology. You might want to check.

Forget Magic Stick.. Get the Blue One,
By Bigg (Providence) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony 128 MB MagicGate Memory Stick (MSG128A) (Personal Computers)
The blue Memory Sticks by Sony or Lexar play MP3 files just dandy. I should know, I've owned a Clie the past 2 years and I have been enjoying MP3s on my 128 MB Memory Stick since I bought my Clie.All you need to do is put the MP3s you want to listen to in the MSAudio folder on the memory stick. In fact, Sony's manual even gives instructions on how to do this! For the price of ONE Magic Gate Memory Sticks you can buy TWO blue Memory Sticks of equal size! Don't believe me, visit cliesource.com and ask all the Clie users there.
