A visitor from Neowin who wishes to remain Anonymous passed me the following screenshots of the new Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator 6 suite currently in beta. As you will see the new suite supports DVD burning has an updated GUI and some sort of media player called "Audiocentral" too.

Heres what Roxio said about it in September:

"Roxio has some very significant product releases over the next two quarters including the debut of Easy CD & DVD Creator 6.0: The Digital Media Suite. This will be the first all-in-one solution for digital media applications with the top brands in the business. Creator 6 will bring together in one integrated product: CD recording, video editing/DVD authoring, photo editing and sophisticated new data applications. The response from sneak-previews by consumers, retailers and our OEM partners bodes very well for the success of Roxio's next major product cycle."

It's not out yet & it's a closed beta so for now, Enjoy the screenshots :)

But with songs averaging 4 to 5mb (depending on the quality) and downloadable movies running somewhere between 400 to 600mb, this severly limits the amount of movies and songs that a user who once thought of broadband as the "you-can-eat connections to the Net".

Critics of the bandwidth caps on broadband connections worry that various internet annoyances would eat into their monthly bandwidth quotas, some of which are wholly out of the control of subscribers. Annoyances such as; Web pop-up ads or pornographic spam e-mail messages; ad-supported software programs such as the Opera Web browser could take another bite at the cap without subscribers' approval and some have even raised the specter of malicious attacks, in which streams of traffic could be sent to a computer or series of computers by an outsider (on a non-capped high speed link), pushing the targeted accounts over their monthly limit without any action on the part of the subscribers.

No US cable company has yet announced that it is imposing bandwidth caps, but most say it's an option. "It's something we're looking at," said Jenni Moyer, a spokeswoman for the newly merged Comcast Communications and AT&T Broadband, which together comprise the largest cable ISP. Cox Communications says that they already attempt to identifies customers who are using large amounts of bandwidth for any reason and tries to encourage them to move to a more expensive tier of service. DSL providers seem to be less interested in the idea, with SBC Communications saying that the company did not see heavy file-swapping activity as "a problem to be resolved."
