The Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition increases the amount of things you can do with your multimedia work. Consider some of these benefits you get when you obtain the DME:

• Photos ” Add narration, music, and photo effects before you share your digital photos with others. Movie Maker users can use the photos inside their movies.

• Music ” Enjoy a music jukebox that plays your digital music. You can also use the DME to record old LPs and cassettes to digital music so you can use them for your movie soundtracks .

• Movies ” The DME adds 50 new transitions and special video effects to Movie Maker.

• Portable devices ” Use the DME to download the latest news and music to your PocketPC device. Including the Movie Maker movies you make for your PocketPC, the DME enables you to take your entire entertainment system with you when you're on the go.

It's obvious how the new movie special effects and transitions will help Movie Maker users, but the other benefits are available as well.
