media.io is finally live!

I can’t believe it myself but, after 2 and a half months, media.io is finally live!

Check it out

I had to make some last-minute tweaks to get everything to work, including

  • Migrating to Tomcat. Orion and lighttpd didn’t support streaming uploads.
  • Rewriting some JavaScript.
  • Changing the LAME configuration.

In the end, things finally worked out and media.io is finally here.

In the next weeks, I will concentrate on improving the user interface and adding the things you want most.

media.io update #1

Here's what I did for media.io today:
  • Ran into issues with Orion, symlinks and the XFS file system.
  • Wrote a privacy policy. Contrary to what you would expect, I won't run media.io to get other people's music. In fact, I don't even know what music you upload. The only thing that's ever shared with advertising partners will be artists and album names.
  • Discovered that privacy policies are boring. …And nobody reads them anyway.
  • Drew some buttons. Buttons, everybody hates doing them but everybody needs them.

And that's all :-)
