## The Hook

howler.js is still the audio-sprite library you drop next to Phaser or Pixi.

## What's Good

MIT. Web Audio plus HTML5 fallbacks, sprites, spatial audio.

## The Catch

Quiet since September 2023. Stale LICENSE copyright year -- live MIT line, not a ghost. No Used-By names.

## Verdict

The browser audio sprite library. MIT, quiet, still the default next to Phaser.
