Its an application that brings together thousands of shows from all over the web. Theres TONS of great content, lots of it in HD, and fresh shows are added all the time. You can watch and organize video feeds when youre offline or traveling, find TV programs on sites like Hulu, and download from sites like YouTube. Miro downloads in HD, whenever its available. Providing one-stop shopping for all your video and audio management desires, open-source and cross-platform Miro deserves much of the praise thats been heaped upon it.
The latest major point to version 4 introduces strong support for importing iTunes libraries and Android device syncing, in effect attempting to become iTunes for Android. Somewhat remarkably, it does a good job of this challenging task. Set your Miro preferences to either
play videos one after another (in the order they appear) or to play a video then stop. If you have Miro set to play videos one after another, you can always right-click on an individual video and have it play then stop.
Some of Miro 4.0 features :
1. Works with your current music library
Its very easy to switch from iTunes to Miro without any copying. Just point Miro to your music and
video folderand those files will appear. If you dont like Miro (impossible!), nothings changed.
2. Converts and syncs to Android
Youd have to be crazy to use a music player that doesnt sync to your phone. Miro is simply the best music and video player for Android phones and tablets.
3. Buy Music and Apps inside Miro
The Amazon MP3 store is built-in to Miro. Buy, download, and listen, seamlessly. Buy Android apps from the Amazon or Google app stores and they will sync to your device.
4. Download and play almost any video
Do you still use separate programs to download, play music, play videos, and sync to your phone? Miro plays almost any video or music format and
downloads from YouTube, podcasts, Amazon, and bittorrent.
5. Convert any video
You can convert almost any video with Miro into mp4/h264, with presets for almost any device you can think of (including iPhones, iPods, iPads, Android phones, and more).
6. Share Your Media on your Network
When two Miros are on the same wifi network, they can stream and transfer music and videos to each other. Its the easiest way to watch a video or play music upstairs if the file is downstairs.
7. Open-source dont lock yourself in
Unlike some other media players (cough, cough), Miro is not trying to run your life! Not only is Miro 100% free and open-source, its made by a non-profit organization. You dont need to be locked down by one corporation to have a great media experience.
8. Ultra-fast torrent downloading
Miro has some of the fastest bittorrent downloading in the world, built in. Try us head-to-head with any bittorrent application.
The concept behind Miro is brilliant, yet simple: create a
jukebox video and audio player that can subscribe to and download podcasts while managing your locally saved media. On the face of it, this might sound like iTunes, but the sharing component is an essential aspect of the program. The new version now heavily resembles iTunes, with a left nav for navigating between
your audio, video, connected devices, Amazon MP3 store, and Android marketplaces. New to version 4 is a right nav that links to recently watched videos, recently songs played, and recent downloads, while the center of the program is where your media discovery and playback happen.
