"review of Democracy Player (Miro)"
Version: Miro 0.9.6
Pros
Works ok, if you don't have many files, and you don't work it very hard - crashes frequently.
Cons
Uninstall doesn't actually do anything - except delete the entry in add/remove. The program folder and dozens of registry entries remain. You got to reinstall the Operating System to get this POS off your computer.
Summary
I consider a program that uninstalls as poorly as this one MALWARE. If the writers can't be bothered to write correct uninstall procedures I have to wonder what safety protocols they ignored.

"This is a piece of crap!"
Version: Miro 4.0.5
Pros
Pretty icon?
Cons
Miro wants to add EVERYTHING on my system to its library. All the little sound files in games, all the cached video, EVERYTHING. The process started when I first opened the program, and the only way I was able to stop it was to shut it down.
It also doesn't have an option to show where the files are located on my system, so I can't just let it find everything and then trim it down to only the stuff I want it to see.Summary
Too invasive. Wants to do everything, won't take no for an answer.

"My favorite mediaplayer."
Version: Miro 4.0.3
Pros
Very fine media management.
Monitors any added folders perfectly.
Adding media sources like Youtube.Cons
Choppy quality at the start of any mp3 player.
Lack of a forum or community where you can discuss this media player or look for answers when meeting bugs.
Voume button is annoying.
No "Stay-on-top" option.
No extensions. (Planned 3 years ago.)Summary
It's a good media player but as I've also tried this media player on Ubuntu, it worked better there.

Hello,
I am using Miro and have some questions about it. I have already checked the website of Miro, tried Google and Wikipedia but could not find an answer.
- Does Miro supports the same container-, video-, audio-, subtitle-, and playlistformats as VLC Media Player, since Miro is based on VLC?
- On which version of VLC Media Player is the internal media player of VLC based and are new updates of VLC supported in Miro? And is Miro a good alternative for VLC?
- Miro supports various internet protocols for video and audio (streaming). Some protocols supports streaming in browser and other protocols also support downloading the stream.
HTTP: browser support: yes download support: ???
HTTPS: browser support: ??? download support: ????
UDP:????
DAAP: browser support: yes download support: ???
Podcasts: browser support: yes download support: yes
Bittorrent: browser support: yes download support: yes
RSS: browser support: yes download support: yes
Silverlight: What is the name of the protocol that supports Silverlight streaming? browser support: ??? download support: ??
YouTube: What is the name of the protocol that supports YouTube streaming? browser support??? download support????
What are other important protocols and are these supported by Miro and does Miro supports browser support and download support for these protocols? If not, is this on the wishlist/plans?
- Does Miro supports plugins and/or extensions (based on API's)? If not, is this the plan?
- What are big modifications/adds for new Miro versions?
Hope someone can answer my questions.
Thanks in advance.

"Miro 4 doesnt work!"
Version: Miro 4.0.2
Pros
Simple interface, easier to use than uTorrent. However........with Miro 4 there are no pros really. Version 3.5.1 worked flawlessly, but the latest version is just crap.
Cons
Pirate Bay has been removed, and the feed cannot be added. But worse, this thing is filled with so much bloatware my system goes from 1.4G used RAM to 5.7G used when I open Miro.This is a common problem discussed on the Miro forums.
Summary
This was my preferred downloader but V 4 doesnt work, and you cannot go backwards with Miro, it wont let you.

"itunes for android"
Version: Miro 4.0.2
Pros
beautiful layout, easy to use, very intuitive.
Cons
took me a while to figure out that in order to close a media file, you have to hit the stop button. once you figure that out, it makes a lot of sense and i have had no other problems.
Summary
i never use itunes any more
