Miro4: open, cross-platform iTunes replacement that does BitTorrent, podcast channels, and synchs to everything
Nicholas from the Participatory Culture Foundation sez, Miro 4 has just been released! We believe the open media world can be just as integrated and usable as the closed, top-down, DRM'ed systems of companies like Apple. And we want to prove it. Miro, free and open-source, is now a full alternative to iTunes and Windows Media Player: * Syncs music and video to Android phones and tablets * Buy music and apps from Amazon and other stores inside Miro * Stream and share music and video on your local network * Gorgeous, totally new UI * Works with your iTunes library, so it's easy to try Miro and see if you like it * A very fast bittorrent client * Powerful video player supporting and converting almost any format Basically, it rules. Android is going to be 50% of the smartphone market by the end of the year, but millions of Android users are still using iTunes, software that explicitly refuses to sync to their devices. That seems a little crazy doesn't it? We think Miro 4 can change that. Miro 4 (Thanks, Nicholas!) (Disclosure: I'm proud to volunteer on the board of directors for the Participatory Culture Foundation, the nonprofit that publishes Miro)...Original Link: http://feeds.boingboing.net/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/SxOPj4NOJfI/miro4-open-cross-pla.html
