Support for AIFF

AIFF (file extensions: .aiff and .aif) was high on the list of requested file formats. Now you can convert AIFF to MP3 online, as well as converting AIFF to other formats. Supporting .rm files (Real Media) might be next.

Downtimes

The last two weeks have been pretty bumpy – media.io was down several times. In response, I have increased my monitoring a lot which will help keep the site online.

Bug Fixes

A bug that affected people using Download Accelerators (caused by my buggy implementation of HTTP Range requests) has been fixed. Some people have reported incomplete downloads in the past and this should fix it.

Reliability

One thing I’m working on is collecting data why some files can’t be converted at media.io. I know of a few bugs in the tools I use but sometimes, these tools also cannot convert the files you’d like to convert, such as floating-point WAV files. Over time, I want to increase the conversion success rate until everybody’s happy.

The last three days weren’t overly productive, I must admit. iDotz dropped the configuration for media.io from their DNS servers so the site was unavailable until I switched DNS servers to someone else’s.

The good thing is I did not find any bugs and so could concentrate on getting some half-assed exciting GUI done, as well as a little bit of copywriting.

As you see in the screenshots below, it looks slightly more like my QR Code Generator now.

The reason is that people like invx.com because it's simple and, therefore, the site converts great.

Ideas? Suggestions?

There is a forum for your ideas and suggestions for media.io. If you have any audio formats you'd like to convert when media.io goes live, post an idea there. Posting is quick and can be made anonymously.

Screenshots

Oh yes, the screenshots… They’re below this post. :-)
