Soon on media.io: Convert WMA to MP3 and Ogg Vorbis

media.io doesn’t support any and all file types yet. Whenever someone tries to upload something media.io doesn’t know yet, I can find out what it was. That’s good for everyone because I can concentrate on audio formats most people want. Here’s the list so far:

  • 13 wma
  • 1 rm
  • 1 ram
  • 1 ogx
  • 1 mpeg
  • 1 flv
  • 1 flac

As you see, many people want to convert WMA – Microsoft’s audio format – to other formats. Understood :-) It’s coming soon

WAV decoding support in media.io

media.io now lets you convert MP3 to WAV online, as well as

  • Ogg Vorbis to WAV
  • AAC to WAV

I admit that WAV isn’t the most popular target format but some people have been looking to “decode MP3 to WAV” – search engines simple don’t understand that, if I say “convert WAV to MP3,” I don’t automatically support converting MP3 to WAV. :-)

I know there are some strange bugs that some people (including myself) run into occasionally. If you experience a problem with media.io, simply file a bug, describing what you did and what you expected to happen.

AAC support in media.io + new look

AAC Decoding and Transcoding

I built media.io from the ground up to be easily extensible with new audio formats. The first new audio format after the launch is AAC, short for Advanced Audio Coding. You might know AAC as the audio format used in Apple’s iTunes store. AAC is nice and all but now you can convert AAC to MP3 or Ogg Vorbis. This includes all MPEG-4 profiles – MPEG-4, MPEG-2 MAIN, LOW, LTP, LD, LC, SBR, PS and ER object type AAC files.

New Look

I’ve also refined the look of media.io, making it easier on the eyes. The new layout should give you a little bit more information about media.io before you convert your music. I’m attaching two screenshots below – before and after.

Feature Requests

Also, the user suggestions board is slowly filling up with ideas. If you like media.io but wish it would do something you need, go there and vote, it’s that easy.

Converting AAC soon on media.io

One week after launching media.io, I’m already expanding the list of audio formats
supported by media.io

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) will be the next format that you can convert audio files from.

All MPEG-4 profiles will be supported, including MPEG-4, MPEG-2 MAIN, LOW, LTP, LD, LC, SBR, PS and ER object type AAC files (thanks to FAAD2). Encoding to AAC will come a little bit later. For audio file conversion to AAC, I’m torn between FAAC and the Nero AAC Encoder. If you have a preference, please post a suggestion, thanks!
