Los Angeles, CA – June 24, 2009 - AudioMicro.com, the web's largest micro stock music and sound effects licensing destination, has launched a new version of its website, targeted at purchasers of royalty free music and sound effects. New visitors to AudioMicro.com will find a completely revamped user interface and design, making it a rich and simple destination for discovering and licensing stock audio.

Visitors to the new AudioMicro homepage experience improved utility and design, including:

• Advanced Browse and Search Capabilities - features to help you locate the perfect cue or effect for your projects
• Embeddable Tracks - embed tracks on external sites including websites, blogs, MySpace, Facebook, etc - simply copy and paste the embed code, it's that easy
• Customizable Favorites Lists – create multiple favorites collections to preview your favorite tracks on the fly, before you buy
• Invite friends, Earn Rewards- connect with your address book and invite friends. Users receive 2 free download credits (an $8.99 value) for every 100 friends invited, up to a maximum of 500
• API Integration – the AudioMicro API allows approved partner platforms to create highly customizable applications utilizing the AudioMicro library
• Brand new content and features to be announced over the coming months

In addition to the newly redesigned website, AudioMicro has teamed with SlideRocket and added its extensive library of stock music and royalty free sound effects to the SlideRocket marketplace. Utilizing AudioMicro’s new API, SlideRocket users can now license tracks from the AudioMicro archive and incorporate them directly into their SlideRocket presentations.

“SlideRocket’s beautiful design and powerful communication capabilities made a natural fit for the AudioMicro music and sound effects library”, said Ryan Born, founder and CEO of AudioMicro. “At least 50% of the entertainment value of visual media comes from the audio. With over 125,000 tracks to choose from, SlideRocket users are now able to create more compelling, attention grabbing presentations, utilizing AudioMicro music and effects to engage their audience.”

Last month, AudioMicro announced the availability of its second iPhone app, AudioMicro Lite. AudioMicro Lite includes over 50 professional-quality royalty free sound effects as well as a “Sneak Attack” feature, which sets the iPhone to play a specified sound effect when the device is moved by an unsuspecting person. For 99 cents, users can upgrade to the full AudioMicro app, which includes over 500 professional sound effects.
