machines and faster than any Pentium-based encoder.

information is now alphabetized and can be typed in as well as selected
from the menu. SoundJam MP 1.1 offers new plug-ins including WhiteCap and a
smoother and faster Melt-O-Rama which also supports Power Mac G4 with
Velocity Engine. SoundJam MP supports the upcoming Rio500 MP3 audio player.
SoundJam MP will in fact be the Macintosh solution for the upcoming Rio500.

systems. The product ran perfectly and the consumer response was
enthusiastic. Thanks to all at C&G for the G4 savvy SoundJam!" said Dan
