Roxio Provides Free Macintosh OS X Update For Toast 5 Titanium users

MACWORLD, San Francisco, California - (January 8, 2002) - Roxio, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROXI), the Digital Media Company, announced today the availability of a Toast 5 Titanium updater for Macintosh OS X. Customers who already own Toast 5 Titanium, can download the updater, free of charge, directly from Roxio's website at http://www.roxio.com/toastosx. Toast is the #1 selling CD burning software for Macintosh.

The Toast 5 updater will now enable Toast users to enjoy their favorite product features in the Mac OS X Aqua environment. Mac OS X users, in addition to Mac OS 9 users, may burn audio and MP3 CDs, with control over gaps between songs; backup and share files on CD or DVD, burn DVD video and data files on the same disc, convert iMovies into crystal clear video CDs to play on virtually any DVD player and burn CDs in the background while they work. Toast 5 customers will also receive a free carbonized updater for CD Spin Doctor, for converting noisy LPs and cassettes to clear digital audio CDs.

Coming soon, Roxio will make available free Mac OS X updaters for the other applications in the Toast suite; such as Audion, the versatile MP3 tool; iView Media for complete digital asset management; and Magic Mouse Discus, the CD label and jewel case creator. For customers without broadband Internet access, a disc containing the complete Toast 5 Titanium suite with OS X support will be available for a nominal shipping and handling fee.

"Roxio remains dedicated to Macintosh and its user base by offering the best-of-breed CD and DVD burning features for Mac OS 9 and OS X," said Tom Shea, chief operating officer at Roxio. "We value our loyal customers in the Macintosh community and will continue to provide them with the best CD and DVD recording software."

Customers who do not have Toast 5 Titanium can purchase the product direct from Roxio at www.roxio.com or at their local computer retail store.
