MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 2000--Adaptec, (Nasdaq: ADPT) the global leader in innovative storage solutions, now offers a faster way for users of RealNetworks' RealJukebox to burn music CDs from their music library that can be played in any standard home, car or portable CD player.

Adaptec's new SoundStream_iM software boosts the fastest CD burner speeds from 2x to their true maximum speed, of up to 12x, includes the full-featured CD Label Creator application for creating custom CD labels, and cool special effects for enhancing sound quality.

"SoundStream_iM provides users with the fastest and most portable way to take songs from their RealJukebox music library and burn them on a standard CD that can be played in their existing CD players."

Adaptec makes online music tangible, portable and accessible to consumers by joining CD burning, the Internet and the installed base of over one billion audio CD players, DVD players and CD-ROM drives. Adaptec is leading the technology to extend the delivery of Internet streaming media and downloadable music, and aggressively partnering with leading content providers of secure Internet music, players and distributors to provide true portability for digital media.

The SoundStream_iM upgrade extends the capabilities of the free Adaptec CD burning plug-in for RealJukebox and enables users to burn any song in their RealJukebox music library to CD. When using SoundStream_iM, users also get the following features:

  • The ability to add more songs at a later date to an earlier created CD
