It was also very clunky and slow. I really want it to work, but it just doesn't for me on my mac. This program had trouble importing my itunes library. It was also very clunky and slow.

Before they go asking for my money, they should make something that <i>truly</i> does all the things they say it does: scraping YouTube? What about all the videos I search for that don't pop up? Is there some proprietary issue? As for the RSS, I was unimpressed. iTunes (which I dislike) had a more intuitive interface. And, despite their claims, it bogged down my system. Pretty significantly.

I'm about to pull the plug on my cable tv subscription. Between Miro and Joost there's nothing else I need. Joost is slicker, but Miro gets great content (imho). Miro is a great project, I'm definitely going to donate. I’ve been using Miro for a month or so now on my living room TV. I’m about to pull the plug on my cable tv subscription.

For example, can I download and listen to TWiT on Miro? If so then I'm ready to do away with WMP and iTunes. Thanks. Does Miro support podcasts?
