The Participatory Culture Foundation (PCF) launches Miro 4, the next iteration of its open-source desktop media player that will allow users to manage music including iTunes® libraries, videos, playlists and apps in one place and to sync these digital libraries with Android devices. The only media player that offers both an elegant, user-friendly interface and the freedom and flexibility of open source, Miro 4 is completely free and now available to download for PC, Mac and Linux systems at www.getmiro.com.

Miro 4 is open browser, open network and will allow users to access, share and control their digital media while being free of proprietary constraints. Android users will enjoy a fast, seamless, easy and consistent syncing experience that is tied to the best desktop media player available.

Additional features of Miro 4 include:
Quickly and easily syncs with existing media libraries, like iTunes, upon installation and recognizes updates in these libraries.
Comes equipped with Miro’s award-winning video converter to ensure users have the ability to download and play almost any video or music format.
