SpacialAudio Player SDK
Over the last 10 years SpacialAudio has developed many cutting edge players for many of our clients as well as for our own internal needs. We quickly realized that player design is a tricky business. With so many browsers, operating systems, player plugins and streaming formats it took days, weeks and even months to develop a player that can reach the widest audience. And just when you had it perfect ... a new browser update gets released that breaks everything!
We knew there had to be a better way... so we began building a more structured way of developing players. The end result was the SpacialAudio Player SDK.
Why use the Player SDK?
Simply put we've done all the hard work so you do not have to! The Player SDK does the following automatically for you:
- Picks the best player to use based on the OS, Browser and available players.
- Support for Flash, SilverLight and Windows Media Player. Each of these have the EXACT SAME coding interface so no matter which one you use, you can control it in the same way.
- We constantly improve the SDK - adding more players or improving cross-platform support. These changes will be instantly available to your players designed with the SDK.
- The player automatically handles scripting data in streams - allowing you to display track information or synchronized advertisements in real-time.
- Built-in support for StreamAds, accompanying banners and text ads as well as support for in-stream targeted audio and video advertisements.
- Build your player based on the many examples we have and get up and running in minutes!
- It's FREE! (Please review our Player SDK License Agreement)

My grandma used to say: "If you want to see something, just look". I have no clue what that meant.
I do know however the best way to see the power of the SDK is to experience it in action. Please view some of the demonstrations below to see the SDK in action.
