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.

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
