media.io is now much more awesome.

What’s new?

• More privacy. Resolving this problem, in addition to adding Cache-Control: private headers to most pages, ensures that the details of your uploads are hidden from me and proxies.
• Support for files without extension. When you convert audio online at media.io now, your file doesn’t need an extension.
• Support for WAV encapsulated MPEG audio. This was a common cause of problems.
• Support for WMA. media.io now supports decoding from and to Windows Audio.
• There’s now a table that explains what formats are supported.
• Easier file uploading. I’ve posted a screenshot of the new upload progress bar before. I hope you like it.
• A different look. I did rearrange certain links on the page. Also, I incorporated some ideas I got from the user tests I ran on media.io.

Coming soon

Some of the things I will enable soon is support for FLAC.

Screenshots

I’m attaching two screenshots to this post, the first one is “before,” the second one “after.” Enjoy.

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 :-)
