Expanding the home entertainment functionality of its Xbox gaming system, Microsoft demonstrated at E3 an upcoming add-on that enables viewing of music and photos using the Xbox console. The feature, dubbed "Music Mixer," connects to computers over a network and creates a library of digital media. The primary focus of Music Mixer will be karaoke, with its "digital lyric-stripping technology" and bundled microphone.
"Music Mixer unlocks the digital entertainment capability of Xbox," said J Allard, general manager of Xbox Platform at Microsoft. "Music Mixer demonstrates how we can use the Xbox to connect gamers to other favorite activities of the Digital Entertainment Lifestyle."
