media.io: Convert Audio Formats

Posted 2009-08-13 in WWW by Johann.

I’ve been working on a new application since July and here’s a small preview.

Did you ever download music in the wrong format?

  • Someone sent you music in AC3 but your player only plays MP3 and Ogg Vorbis?
  • You have a lossless format like FLAC that you would like to convert to Ogg Vorbis?
  • Your band needs a few low-quality MP3s for your website?

I am working on a site that lets you convert audio formats online.

Titled media.io, you upload your audio files, select the target format and the conversion quality, wait for a few seconds and then download the converted files.

media.io 1

media.io 2

Like all of my sites, media.io is designed to be highly boring plain effective.

And the slogan? media.io - for all the people who are afraid to read the ffmpeg manpage :-)

Looks great. Can we have an API too?

Thejesh,

to be honest, I don't know :-)

Even though I get lots of free traffic with my hosting, traffic isn't free for most people on the web.

And even though it's not critical, the average bandwidth per user of media.io is several orders larger than of my other sites.

So while I like the idea I don't know how people would pay for the traffic and the maintenance.

Plus, once you start offering APIs, people will inevitably expect SLAs.
