Check-out
is to transfer

Returning
checked-out

is to check-in
(You cannot move checked-out
music files to another
computer
)
You can check-out
a music file, check it back in, and then check it out again an infinite
number
of
times The SDMI rules provide
that up to four copies of a music file can be checked-out
at one
time OpenMG
employs
a method
whereby
three copies of a song can be checked-out
simultaneously,
while the fourth
copy is maintained
as a “master”
on your PC If three copies of
the same song are checked-out
at a given time, one copy of the song needs to be checked-m
to the
computer
in order to create an additional
check-out

Bit Rates
In OpenMG Jukebox, the bit rate for recording
an audio CD can be chosen from 132 kbps/lO5
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 will
be bigger thus shortening the total check-out
time available on your digital music player
Likewise, a lower value means less sound quality,
but lengthens the total check-out
time available on
your digital music player

ATRAC3
ATRAC3,
technology
which
that
stands
satisfies
for Adaptive
the demand
Transform
Acoustic
Coding3,
is audio compression
for high sound quality
and high compression
rates
The ATRAC3
compression
rate is approximately
10 times
resulting
an increased
data capacity
for the media
“Check-In
higher
than
that of the Audio
CD,
/Check-Out”
Check-out
is to transfer
music files from a personal
computer
to an external
device/media
(such
as Network
Walkman)
Returning
checked-out
music files to the same computer
is to check in
(You cannot move checked-out
music files to another
computer
)
You can check-out
a music file, check it back in, and then check it out again an infinite number
of
times The SDMI rules provide
that up to four copies of a music file can be checked-out
at one
time OpenMG
employs
a method
whereby
three copies of a song can be checked-out
simultaneously,
while the fourth copy is maintained
as a “master”
on your PC If three copies of
the same song are checked-out
at a given time, one copy of the song needs to be checked-in
to the
computer
in order to create an additional
check-out
Bit rate
Indicates
the data amount
per second
The rate is reflected
in bps (bit per second) In OpenMG
Jukebox,
the bit rate for recording
an audio CD or converting
MP3 and WAV format audio files
into ATRACJ
format can be chosen from 132 kbps/105kbps/66kbps
105 kbps means 105000 bits
of information
per second
If the bit rate is large, that means a large amount
of information
is
used to play music
Comparing
music of the same format,
a 105 kbps data offers better sound
quality
than 66 kbps data, and 132 kbps data offers better sound quality
than 105 kbps data
However,
audio files in formats
such as MI’3 have different
encoding
methods,
and thus sound
quality
cannot be determined
by simply
comparing
the bit rate
