Stimulus 4 new interface and features
Electric Butterfly, Inc. has announced the release of Stimulus 4 for Mac OS X, the popular media browser that provides an easy way to manage and enjoy your personal collection of digital music, photos, and video clips. Completely redesigned with a brand new interface and new features, Stimulus 4 is now available in a Mac OS X Edition and for the first time, a Windows XP Edition.

Stimulus is your solution! With support for 24 popular file formats, Stimulus works intuitively like a file browser, allowing you to select and view/play all of your favorite images, audio files, and video clips from within a single application. Rename, move, and delete files to organize your digital life. Play slideshows, add favorites to custom lists, adjust audio bass and treble settings, zoom, rotate, print, search, and much more.
