The Amazon MP3 store is built-in to Miro. Buy, download and listen, seamlessly. Buy Android apps from the Amazon or Google app stores and they will sync to your device.

Quickly Convert any video
You can convert almost any video with Miro into mp4/h264, with presets for almost any device you can think of (including iPhones, iPods, iPads, Android phones, and more).
