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.

enthusiastic. Thanks to all at C&G for the G4 savvy SoundJam!” said Dan
