I-Doser is an application for the playback of proprietary audio content. The developer claims the separately purchasable content aims to simulate specific mental states through the use of binaural beats, and much of it is named after prohibited recreational drugs. The I-Doser player has been downloaded more than a million times and is based on the audio technology of a GPL-licensed binaural beat generator, SBaGen.
I-Doser tracks are usually 30-40 minutes long and administered with a program called I-Doser V5. The file format containing the encoded sounds ends in .drg which only the I-Doser program can run. Most doses are priced in the US $1.99-$3.99. A small number of premium experimental doses costing hundreds of dollars. Some are marketed as intended for relaxation, others to simulate substances and others for mind/mental improvement, like the title Brain+, or 3 called Alpha, Beta, and Theta to target those parts of the brainwaves. There are also mobile applications available for iOS and Android with an extensive in-app store for additional doses. MP3 and CD “packs” can also be purchased, that are simply the doses ported to the format enhanced with ambient sound and music.
I-Doser is a program designed to give users “binaural beat doses” to “sync their brainwaves.” It’s a music-only media player that takes only DRG files. We’ll let users speculate as to the meaning of DRG. These doses, according to the theory, are to align your mood with the theme of the dose.
