Download Miro 5.0 RC 1

The Participatory Culture Foundation has released a release candidate of version 5.0 of Miro. Miro is an open source cross platform and high definition media streamer, downloader, player and podcast client. The program contains a limited number of channels by default, but these can easily be expanded with your own sources. It is also possible to use the Miro Guide, which contains thousands of channels. More information about the possibilities of this program can be found on this page. Below are the main improvements made in version 5.0:

Song information and Album art lookup
Clean up your music collection by automatically looking up the Artist, correct title, and album name and artwork among other thing.

Album View
A clean view to group together all your songs by Album and Artist. Also a simplified way to view video items by kind (Movies, Clips, Podcasts…)

Faster Device Syncing and Conversions
We’ve added a Quick fill option to get your music onto your device fast! Automatic syncing, options to convert only when necessary, and updates to the ffmpeg binaries.
