OK, I am so confused about these memory stick thingys, can somebody clear up a few questions:

1) Will normal Sony memory sticks work?
2) Will Sony MagicGate memory sticks work?
3) What is 'MagicGate'?
4) What does the DUO bit mean?

Cheers.

1) Will normal Sony memory sticks work?
No - normal memory sticks won't fit in the device!

2) Will Sony MagicGate memory sticks work?
Sony MagicGate *DUO* sticks will work in the device yes 😊

3) What is 'MagicGate'?
I think it has some sort of secure copy protection to help prevent piracy of music.

4) What does the DUO bit mean?
The "DUO" memory sticks are a newer standard, smaller than the traditional Sony Memory Sticks. They're thinner and shorter 😊
