SonicStage V

SonicStage V manages portable devices that are connected to the computer. It is a music player and also a library manager. It can manage the player’s music files on a computer. Its unique feature is a guard protection against copyright infringements. Being a write-only device, the user can only utilize the player. It enforces copyright through OpenMG.
