AMD Live! Explorer beta: Browser for desktop and online media

Chip maker AMD has released a beta version of a new media browser for Windows computers. AMD Live! Explorer requires a machine with an AMD processor to run, and you need a pretty speedy one at that. But the software is available as a free download, so we won't complain. Much.

AMD Live! Explorer provides you with yet another way to view photos, music, and movies stored on your computer. You browse your images and saved video files using either a thumbnail view, or a "Live!" view which is basically a fancy visualization similar to what you'd see if you were browsing online images using the Piclens add-on for Firefox. If you have a TV tuner and Windows Media Center on your PC, you can also watch live and recorded TV shows.

You can also download several AMD Live! Applications from within Live! Explorer, including a tool for transferring recorded TV shows to a portable device, and another tool that synchronizes your iTunes and Windows Media Player libraries.
