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.

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.
