The Xbox Music Mixer is a multimedia utility developed by WildTangent and published by Microsoft Game Studios for the Xbox in 2003. The software allows the user to transfer certain types of music and pictures directly from a PC to the Xbox, create custom soundtracks, and features a karaoke mode to sing pre-loaded or custom songs using a packaged karaoke microphone. Xbox Music Mixer was announced at E3 in 2003 as part of a 'Digital Entertainment Lifestyle' initiative, with expectations that the software would lead the console towards functionality as an all-in-one media centre. Upon release, the software received negative reception, with reviewers observing compatibility and usability issues and limitations to the game's karaoke features. The software was subsequently influential to the features of the similar Windows Media Center Extender for the Xbox 360.
