For the Second Consecutive Year Roxio’s Flagship Digital Media Suite Earns Top Honors

Santa Clara, California (October 18, 2007) — Roxio®, a division of Sonic Solutions® (NASDAQ: SNIC), the leader in digital media software, today announced that Roxio Easy Media Creator® 10 has received a prestigious Editors’ Choice Award from PC Magazine, a leading resource for authoritative, labs-based reviews of computing products for over 7 million technology buyers. The latest acknowledgment adds to an impressive list of accolades and positive reviews that Easy Media Creator 10 has received from technology press in the U.S. and Europe since its introduction in September of this year and extends the brand’s decade-long history of securing top honors from leading technology journals. Easy Media Creator 10 is available at www.roxio.com and in retail stores throughout North America for a suggested retail price of $99.99.

"Receiving PC Magazine’s top honors gives our customers the confidence that Roxio Easy Media Creator is the best product for enhancing and managing their most valuable digital memories," said Mark Ely, executive vice president of strategy, Sonic Solutions. "This award recognizes our dedication to delivering innovation and quality products to consumers now and into the future."

In awarding Easy Media Creator 10 the Editors’ Choice title and an overall rating of "Very Good", PC Magazine’s editors praised the Suite’s enhanced features and ease of use, calling the Suite "a highly polished and often indispensable package." The reviewers were also impressed with Creator’s Media Manager tools and redesigned user interface concluding: "EMC 10, however, is a better choice for Vista users because of its metadata sharing and impressive mobile device support. Most important, however, it’s just better integrated and, above all, easier to use. On that basis, Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 wins our Editors’ Choice."

A cross section of reviews in U.S. trade, daily and online publications, including PC World, The Jersey Journal and TechNews World, echo PC Magazine’s praise of Easy Media Creator’s ease of use and comprehensive feature set. The headline of PC World’s recently published review states: "…when it comes to ease of use, Roxio is king," while The Journal’s technology editor writes, "I have both on my Windows computer, but I find myself reaching for Easy Media Creator more often. I prefer that it’s simpler to get in and out of, so I can do my work quickly." Those sentiments were also shared by TechNews World technology columnist who could not think of "a video – or image –related project this thing won’t handle", and made a fair analogy that Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 is "like the Swiss army knife of audio, video, backup, copy and photo tools."

Easy Media Creator 10 also received widespread acclaim in Europe where the product received top honors and high praise for ease-of-use and product innovation. Typifying the European technology media’s reaction to Easy Media Creator 10, U.K. publications such as Computeractive applauded the Suite’s new features stating: "The original do-anything media suite continues to keep up with technology trends…", while PC Advisor awarded the product a Gold Award concluding: "Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 is a highly recommended suite…if you are the home user who wants a fantastic bundle to handle a variety of media at a remarkable price, this is simply one of the best buys around."
