April 14, 2004 – Roxio, Inc., The Digital Media Company, provider of the best selling digital media software in the world, today announces the availability of Toast with Jam 6, which combines its best-of-breed CD and DVD burning software for the Macintosh, Toast 6 Titanium, with a rich array of studio-quality audio software that enables musicians and music lovers alike to create superior sounding CDs and DVDs.
A first for the Mac platform and ideal for use with home theatres and in-car DVD players, the new DVD Music Album feature enables consumers to create audio DVDs with over 36 hours of Dolby Digital quality music complete with on-screen menus, auto-play navigation, song information, and even album artwork. Support for Dolby Digital, the Hollywood standard, provides the added benefit of allowing discerning consumers to add over two hours of video to their DVDs while maintaining a high level of video quality and full audio fidelity.
Aspiring DJs and GarageBand users will appreciate the Jam 6 software component that enables them to create professional quality CD mixes complete with custom cross fades. Additionally, Jam 6 gives audio pros the ability to produce 100% Redbook-compliant masters ready for commercial replication. Typically only found in high-end professional tools, Peak 4 Express helps consumers edit and enhance the quality of music files or improve video soundtracks.
”The Toast product line has always had this inherent ability to anticipate and meet the needs of the Mac community,” said Tom Shea, President of Roxio. “Toast with Jam 6 is no exception, delivering great sound, ease of use and affordability to an audience with a wide spectrum of demands.”
