Arboretum Realizer, the audio enhancer for Internet music listeners, is now
available on the Mac platform as a plug-in for the Casady & Greene SoundJam
MP player/encoder.
"We are thrilled to include Arboretum Realizer in SoundJam MP" says
Donald Beirdneau, VP for Product Development at Casady & Greene, Inc. "Arboretum
Realizer provides a noticeable improvement in music quality and is especially
effective when streaming music over the Internet."
Unlike conventional equalizers and bass/treble controls, Realizer actually
adds missing low end frequencies, expands the stereo image and synthesizes new
harmonics to recreate the sizzling realism of the original recording. It restores
much of the sound quality lost to compression and lets users hear better audio
with their current speakers and sound card.
"Millions are using MP3 players to listen to music from the Internet,
but MP3 files and streams just don't sound as good as the original CD-quality
recordings" said Georges Jaroslaw, Arboretum Systems founder and CEO. "
We decided to use a little studio magic -- DSP technology originally designed
for recording engineers -- to improve the Internet listening experience."
One of the hits of July's MacWorld Expo, SoundJam MP (www.soundjam.com)
is the first Mac player/encoder to feature streaming MP3 support. Arboretum Realizer
is included in every SoundJam MP package.
Arboretum Realizer can also be used on the Windows platform as a plug-in to
Nullsoft Winamp. Recently acquired by AOL, Winamp is the world's most popular
MP3 player with a reported 15 million users.
Arboretum Realizer is shareware for SoundJam MP and Winamp; with the $9.95
registration fee ($24.95 for corporate use) consumers can receive technical support
via email, discounts on future upgrades and crossgrades to Arboretum's professional
line, plus a special Arboretum CD containing free software, sounds and demos.
Arboretum Realizer is also being made available to hardware and software manufacturers
for OEM licensing. Initial licensees include Adaptec Inc. Complete information
