Sony music players have a write-only design. SonicStage is closely tied to a requirement that the program guard against copyright infractions. It was expected that Sony would launch bandit.fm globally, however Sony never did this and closed the store in 2016. In late 2008, Sony launched a new online music store called " bandit.fm" on a trial basis for a small number of markets.

However, Sony announced that on 31st March 2008, its CONNECT download site would be going offline, therefore affecting SonicStage users. The Sony Connect service was formerly used to purchase recordings online, and could be accessed from within the SonicStage program. SonicStage was required to transfer and manage music on all network-enabled Walkman digital audio players and MiniDisc players, before the software was dropped in 2007. Version 2 was found on 2004 model products, and Version 3 on 2005 model products (Sony introduced native MP3 support on its music players in 2005). SonicStage was first used in VAIO PCs put on the Japanese market in October 2001, and superseded OpenMG Jukebox. It is used to manage the library of ATRAC OMG/OMA and MP3 recordings on a PC. It comprises a music player and library manager, similar to iTunes, Windows Media Player and RealPlayer.
