features.

SonicStage Backup Tool — You can back up and restore music, graphics, 
and information data managed by SonicStage software. You must be 
connected to the Internet to use the SonicStage Backup Tool.

❑

Import audio files in various formats — You can import audio files in 
various formats, such as the MP3 or WAV standards. You can also import 
audio files that comply with the Microsoft® Windows Media™ 
Technologies (WMT) standard, identified by .asf or .wma extensions. 
Manage your audio files through the Playlist feature of SonicStage software.

❑

Manage imported songs on the Playlist — Additional features are 
available when you register your imported songs through the Playlist feature 
of the SonicStage software. You can manage your music by creating your 
own list of songs categorized by genre or artist, displaying your song list in 
the Playlist feature, and arranging your songs in a customized order using the 
Playlist folders. Edit your music by combining multiple songs into a single 
song, or divide one song into two, by using the Combine and Divide 
features.

❑

Simple mode — The main SonicStage window viewed in Simple mode, is a 
smaller, compact version of Full mode. This may be convenient when you 
want to listen to music with SonicStage software, while using other 
applications, or whenever you feel the Full mode view is intrusive. The 
design of the main SonicStage window in simple mode can be changed by 
selecting a new “Skin,” which enhances the window’s appearance. The 
Simple mode feature enables you to perform playback operations only.
