***WildTangent Launches Beta of 3D Audio Driver Plug-In for
Sonique and Winamp players
(January 25)

WildTangent has announced the beta release of its latest product,
the WildTangent audio driver, a visual plug-in for the Sonique
and Winamp audio players. Consumers can download the free 900K
plug-in, complete with four visualizations, from the WildTangent
Web site. Visualizations authored for the WildTangent audio
driver are compatible with both Sonique and Winamp players as
well as others to be announced.

The WildTangent Audio Driver software development kit (SDK)
enables anyone with a little scripting experience (JavaScript,
Java, J++, Visual Basic, VB Script) to create their own graphic
visualizations for the Web that work with both Sonique and Winamp
players. Complete with online tutorials, references, sample
visualizations, and extensive documentation, the free WildTangent
SDK offers musicians and avid music fans a simpler way to
customize visualizations and build their own graphic environment
for their Sonique or Winamp audio players.

The WildTangent Audio Driver takes the audio stream and analyzes
the music data, breaking it down into frequency information. That
information is made available to the developer to assign data,
using Java, JavaScript or VB Script, to the various objects and
textures creating a three-dimensional and interactive graphic
experience.
