I have a Sony Memory Stick Magicgate Music Player (a gift) that uses USB to transfer magicgate files (ick) from the PC. I plugged it into my mac, and it didn't mount. I went into ASP, which said it was a Mass Storage device. I downloaded and installed the Mass Storage drivers from Apple, but it still didn't mount. I am wondering, how is a Magicgate Memory stick different from a normal one, and, why won't it mount on my mac? It mounts fine on the PC, but I don't know what sony did to it when I installed software.

Also, does anyone know of a .mga (Magicgate Audio) decoder/encoder for the mac?

Magic Gate is an encryption scheme that uses hardware built into the stick which is why the sticks costs more.

Also why the sticks won't mount on a Mac - no drivers for that extra piece of hardware.

As of this writing, there is no way to access this player from a Mac except maybe through VirtualPC.
