Technologies, a leader in digital audio solutions for Linux and
UNIX platforms, announced today the successful launch of iQ(TM) for
Linux, a software plug-in for XMMS. XMMS is a cross platform MP3

innovative 3D audio products. We are proud to say that we are the
only 3D audio company with software solutions available for all 3D
Internet and MP3 platforms,” stated David Gallagher, President and

integrated into the XMMS, making it easier than ever for Linux
users to enjoy a dramatically enhanced audio experience over the

adding rich, immersive audio to the already powerful XMMS player.
