Sound Dogs Unveils New Internet Audio DatabaseTechnology.

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Nov. 22, 1999--

Hollywood's premier sound design team, Sound Dogs Inc.(TM), has unveiled a new Internet audio database application that gives its customers unprecedented, speedy access to the online sound library at www.sounddogs.com.

"We're not sure what to call this revolutionary application, because we haven't seen anything like it on the Internet," claimed Phil Harrelson, Sound Dogs technical operations manager. "It's a hybrid client-host database. The client has local access to search 37,000 items, and has the ability to preview and order from the host over the Internet."

According to Rob Nokes, Sound Dogs vice president of Development: "We sought to dramatically improve our customers' control over our immense database, because they depend on us for production music and sound effects content. This application integrates Microsoft(R) (Nasdaq:MSFT) SQL Server(R) with Apple(R) (Nasdaq:AAPL) File Maker Pro(R) to deliver audio media with greater speed and efficiency."

"In the past we have been called the Amazon(R) (Nasdaq:AMZN) of sound, and now we are the Yahoo!(R) (Nasdaq:YHOO) of sound search engines," exclaimed John Switzer, general manager of Sound Dogs.

The client-host database is free to download at ftp://ftp.sounddogs.com/
