Miro 3 was released


Miro is an online podcast aggregator that allows you to subscribe to podcasts and it will automatically download the new episodes for you. I tried Miro on Windows long time ago. Actually, before Miro sent me an email about this update today, I had forgotten about Miro. Thanks to this notification, I finally remembered to use Miro as an alternative to iTunes’ podcast feature since I had struggled to find an alternative iTunes Linux app. Except I have to copy the podcast files to my iPod Touch manually.

Since I had not used Miro in the last two years, I couldn’t tell you the improvement of the new version. Here is the change log directly copied from the official Miro website blog in case you want to know:

  • Subtitles!
    If subtitles are embedded or in the same folder as your video, they will be available automatically in a new drop-down menu. Or pick any subtitle file.
  • Faster Faster Faster!
    Miro is faster and snappier in all sorts of ways from downloading torrents to deleting lots of files. For example, launching Miro is over 150% faster! Downloading torrents is faster!
  • Louder Louder Louder!
    The maximum volume for videos is now at least twice as high. Really nice for laptops.
  • Edit file info
    Easily change the title, description, and category of a file.
  • Play Externally
    We’ve added an option to play all files externally and a right-click menu for single items.

For me, the biggest change is faster download speed for torrents. I couldn’t remember the earlier version of Miro that I tried years ago, but I believe that it has changed a lot both on the interface and on the performance.
