AMD announces Fusion Media Explorer Beta, free for download

Software, Tools and Apps - Friday, April 10th, 2009

AMD has released a new beta version of their Fusion Media Explorer, a 3D media browser designed for AMD’s Puma and Dragon platforms. Aside from presenting media files (photos, videos, album art, etc) into one very attractive interface, the FME offers one-click uploads of photos to Facebook, quick searches from YouTube, Flickr and Windows’ Live Search service, and displays content that’s related to what you’re looking at or listening to.

The Fusion Media Center is developed to make full use of AMD’s Phenom II and Turion Ultra platforms along with ATI graphics cards, and is currently set to run on AMD systems exclusively. Sean Kalinich from brightsideofnews.com has managed to come up with a work-around to run the FME on an Intel-powered system.

AMD’s Casey Gotcher has some notes on the Fusion Media Explorer up on AMD Blogs, where more of the FME’s functions and features are explained in detail. Download the Beta version of AMD’s Fusion Media Explorer here.
