Media.io Updates Adds More Functionality

Written by Alan Saturday, 7 January 2012 07:00

One of our favorite web apps of 2011, Media.io, has issued a major update for the new year.  Media.io is an online tool for converting audio files that can easily turn your music from MP3 to WMA or from any one format to another easily and for free.  We reviewed it a while back and you can check out our hands on here.  Since that review the developer has continued to update the program with more and more functionality.

Media.io developer, Johann, has done a great job of updating the app, as well as it’s audio files capability, and he has now added more functionality to convert all of your music and audio files. New updates include the ability to share music and audio files, language updates, and better uptime.  A full list of the updates added are included below.

• You can now share media.io with your friends using ShareThis. Personally, I’m not a fan of 3rd party widgets and I had to clean up ShareThis’ widget to make it less invasive to your privacy and to make it load faster.
• Korean translation. media.io is now available in Korean.
• Romanian translation. media.io is now available in Romanian. You might ask yourself “why Korean and Romanian?” – it’s got to do with the love media.io gets from particular countries.
• Less resampling. To compensate for flaws in oggenc, I was resampling files to 44100 Hz on the old VPS. This has now been removed, resulting in better quality Ogg Vorbis files.
• Performance improvements. It might seem hard to achieve, but I’ve found one or two tricks that make media.io load even faster worldwide. Every second counts.
• 100 % uptime in December 2011. While not really a new feature, the server media.io runs on has been rock solid in December with absolutely no downtime measured by Pingdom.

With all of the improvements it has become even easier to convert your music files from one audio format to another.  Audio.io was one of the coolest web apps we found in 2011.  It’s free to use and is compatible with almost every music format.  If you have audio files that you would like to convert then head over to media.io to get started.
