I have used this package for awhile now and I am just amazed at all the original plugins that keep showing up and adding value to this program. It was easy to setup and use. It's hardware requirements were also lower than Windows Media Center. I am using a remote with mine and have it conected to my HDTV in the front room. And the most important part is the wife likes it and uses it.

Meedio is a comprehensive tool allowing everyone from the beginner to the expert to experience the "whole house media" revolution. The software is simple enough for newcomers to get started with just a few mouse clicks, yet it also offers sophisticated features aimed at those who want the power and flexibility to meet more demanding requirements. Finally we have a solution that is easy to use, powerful and flexible enough to create a system that meets our wants and needs, rather than a piece of software that is pretty on the outside but only offers a limited set of features!

In addition to the full list of features available in Meedio Essentials, the software supports a comprehensive way to add custom functionality to the software. Through an active and healthy community of users and developers on the Meedio.com web site, the Meedio experience is enhanced beyond what competing products could even dream.

Meedio is the most customizable and powerful HTPC software I have come across. I have used it for a year and am amazed at the number of plugins that are continually releases. Nothing else comes close.

Meedio Essentials is the best software for people wanting a simple setup to watch movies, listen to music, and see pictures on there TV all the way to people like me who love to tweak every aspect of there home theater system.

Meedio is by far the most flexible Home Theater software on the market. With over 200 plugins you can do anything you can imagine, and if you happen to imagine something there isn't a plugin for, you can easily write one yourself with minimal programming skills.

Meedio unchains you from the blue Microsoft Media Center theme and allows you to download dozens of new themes or create one yourself. You can have a one of a kind living room experience rather than being confined to one look.

Meedio also doesn't contain you to what types of video or music files you can play, or how those files are organized. Using a powerful database engine you can create custom views to organize your media in any manner you desire.

Don't take my word on Meedio, try it out yourself. I am sure you will come to love this peice of software as much as I do. Meedio has revolutionized my home theater and it will do the same for you. I have never had anyone over who's mouth wasn't on the ground when they saw everything Meedio does for me.

Before you buy this product be aware that Meedio was sold to Yahoo as of April 20th, 2006. Everything is in limbo. As of yet there is no information coming out of Yahoo.

I've been a Meedio Essentials user since the early beta days and it really is amazing the amount of power this software has. The developers really listen to their customers wants/needs and implement those features in new releases. The best part about Meedio is the helpful community. There are thousands of people who lend a hand to help people who are new to the HTPC world in everything from setting up Meedio, to recommending hardware purchases, helping people recover from lost data, and even assisting new software developers in creating their first Meedio plugins. You won't find a more helpful group of people in the HTPC market. Try Meedio out and be sure to checkout the Forums! Did I mention there are over 200 third party plugins and themes to extend the functionality of this software? Simply the best!

This product is the best way to organize your digital media -- photos, music, video, etc.

Info from the product's web site:

control your media
Like most people you've probably built up a nice collection of CDs and music downloads. You've taken more digital photos than you can keep track of. And you may even have stored your home videos and other movies in digital format. You're faced with the problem of keeping track of all of those files in a single place so you can actually find and enjoy them.

Meedio Essentials starts with powerful tools that quickly and easily create a single library of your digital media. Through intelligent Import Plugins it can even automatically categorize your files no matter where they are stored. Meedio Essentials supports a variety of third-party Import Plugins.

Whether you prefer to view by genre, by artist, or any other category in the Media Library, Meedio Essentials makes it easy to find exactly what you want, when you want it, using only your TV and remote control or touchscreen. You can even customize multi-level views, create new categories, and choose how items are displayed on-screen. And if you can't find what you're looking for you can even search for it using Meedio Essentials' on-screen interface.

Meedio Essentials comes complete with integrated media players so you won't have to worry about buying, installing, and configuring other applications. Or, you can use almost any other third-party media player.

Works with all major music and video formats (if you can play it, Meedio can organize it).
