Miro 4 aims to show open can be as good as closed

ravrore writes: Miro 4 was released today, a major update to the popular multi-patform FOSS video player. The new version adds music support, local network stream and transfer, music purchasing, and Android syncing. Miro is positioning itself as the open iTunes for Android users. "We believe the open media world can be just as integrated and usable as the closed, top-down, DRM'ed systems of companies like Apple. And we want to prove it," says Nicholas Reville, Executive Director of Participatory Culture Foundation, which creates Miro.
