Download Miro 5.0 RC 2

The Participatory Culture Foundation has released a second 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.

New in version 5.0 is, among other things, the ability to automatically retrieve the correct information and album art for music and communication and synchronization with mobile media players is much faster. In addition, music from eMusic can be purchased and videos from Vimeo can now be retrieved in HD quality. Release candidate 2 mainly contains bug fixes.
