Download MediaInfo 0.7.2.0

MediaInfo is able to read out and display detailed information from various music and film formats. For example, the program can not only show ID3 tags of MP3 files, but also data such as the bitrate and length of the song. In addition, MediaInfo can also find out which codec(s) is required to be able to play a movie and export this data to, among other things, a txt and html file. Today the developers have put a new version of MediaInfo online. It concerns version number 0.7.2.0 and can be used from this page for the Windows platform. If you want to use this program on Windows 95, Windows 98 and/or Windows Me, then this patch a requirement as MediaInfo uses unicode. The changelog of version 0.7.2.0 looks like this since the release of 0.6.1.0:
