MUSIC
SonicStageSONY ORIGINAL
Personalise your music with Sony's versatile original SonicStage music software. Download music easily from the Internet, and transfer music to portable audio players. Record and store music freely on your hard disk for "play" like a jukebox. (SonicStage supports popular ATRAC3, WMA, MP3, and WAV formats.) Organise music on your hard drive any way you wish, so that you can quickly and easily call up a track. And when you want your music "to go", just "check out" the tracks onto a Memory Stick or create an original compilation CD with the CD-R on your VAIO. What's more, you can create MP3 CDs by collecting MP3 files registered as a "play list" to record approximately 15 hours* of music in a single CD-R disc. And also copy music into MiniDisk (MD) media faster and easier than ever, thanks to SonicStage support of the Net MD standard. Special SonicStage functions — Active Skins, Vocal Canceller/Pitch Shifter, Graphic Equalizer, and Visualizer — add to music enjoyment.
