Sonic Foundry Releases First Complete Jukebox System to Include CD Burning

Sonic Foundry, Inc. (Nasdaq: SOFO), a leading developer and marketer of media authoring tools for Windows[R], today announced the release of SIREN[TM] Jukebox, the first complete PC music system to include CD burning. SIREN Jukebox not only allows users to listen to their favorite music, but also lets them record CD collections to their hard drive, download music from the Internet, organize music collections, and take music anywhere by supporting portable players and CD burners. The unrivaled feature-set also includes EQ, reverb, and time compression settings that work in real time to tailor the listening experience. These features make it easy for musicians to manipulate and slow down music, without changing key, in order to learn their favorite songs.

"SIREN Jukebox is unique because not only does it allow you play custom play lists of favorite songs on your computer, but our proprietary CD burning technology lets you make custom CD's to be played anywhere. There's no other complete jukebox on the market that can provide this capability," said Jeff Conover, VP of Marketing at Sonic Foundry.

The SIREN Jukebox interface can be customized to suit personal tastes, comes with multiple skins, and is equipped with unique eye candy synchronized to sound. An integrated Web browser and direct links to numerous music sources make downloading new music easy. SIREN Jukebox supports WMA, MP3, WAV, or PCM files at up to 320 Kbps — the highest quality available.

SIREN Jukebox is currently available for download at www.sonicfoundry.com and is sold in computer retail outlets nationwide at a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $39.95.
