all memory sticks use atrac3 as its sony's proprietary format vs mp3
the only diff between standard and magic gate is that encryption technologies called MagicGate used to protect music copyrights are not on the standard ones.
therefore if u want copy protection buy the magic gate, if u live in the free world get the standard one
simple

Well...if you just want to use the P800 for copying things to another computer...then it should work just renaming the file and transfer to the phone???
Or listen to the song in the phone, and when you want to transfer it to another device, just zip it using the special zip-tool for the P800?
Do you think this will work? If I have the "law on my side" to copy my own songs I mean....
Best regards, Patrik

I do know that with my normal Mini Disk player, I can make a MD track directly off a CD, but it won't let me make a copy of the MD track. So i can't transfer this or copy it anywhere (to another MD, computer, etc)

Summarize:
Ordinary Duo - Can handle all files, Except atrac3, no limits of copy for files without atrac3 extensions. Cheaper than Magic Gate.
Magic Gate - Can handle all files, Includes atrac3, no limits of copy for files without atrac3 extensions, and a limit of copy atrac3 files.
Correct?

Couldent you rename the atrac3 file with qfileman and then tranfer it or does magic gate go into the file and look for info about it?

@mr miu
nice summary but wrong as ALL forms and variants can play and ado play as pa preference atrac3 !!
its frickin sony's proprietary format vs mp3 !!
the ONLY differenece between the two are that the magicgate ones have DRM tech niside it so u can only copu it to and from a device a maximum of 3 times or summet !!!
stop making stuff up and read the following pasted from SONY website :
Magic Gate Memory Stick
For both copyright-protected content and personal
content and data.
Memory Stick
For personal content and data only.
ie one has DRM (Didgital Rights Management) one doesnt !!
true

This statement is somewhat misleading. While all of Sonys solid state music players (Network Walkmen or whatever they call it) use ATRAC3 compression instead of MP3 it don't mean that Memory Sticks use it for anything. Since they just store whatever data that is put on them. Even MP3s.
Magic Gate is some kind of DRM technology that is supposed to make sure music (primarily) isn't pirated. And it follows the same rules as MiniDiscs I think. Where you can copy only once unless you recorded the signal yourself. How they do it and how the Magic Gate thing works I have no clue. I just hope it don't have any influence on how it works with other types of files. Since it seems we will only get Magic Gate Duo cards for the time being. And not plain Memory Stick Duo.
