A while ago we reviewed Spotify, a great music streamer with one feature missing – the ability to download music to your own system on the go. FreeMP3Get solves this problem, downloading songs from YouTube which you can then store on your home computer. We take a look at how the program works and whether or not it’s worth the download.
No, it’s not a drinking game but rather an attachment for Mozilla’s Firefox browser that adds some advanced capabilities that light downloaders will find useful and heavy downloaders will find an absolute necessity. We take a look at the features that make DownThemAll a very useful addition to an already powerful browser.
When it comes to music players, there are more than a few names to choose from. From the heavyweights like Media Player and iTunes to those light on system resources and high on configurable options like Foobar. MediaMonkey fits somewhere in the middle but offers some very unique features targeted towards collectors. If you’ve got a medium to large size music collection and you’re constantly downloading lots of apps just to sort and organise it how you want, MediaMonkey could be the all-in-one solution you’ve been waiting for.
If you’re visiting us from Germany, you probably think that tech company Avira needs no introduction, but the company isn’t quite as famous in the UK or US. That’s not to say that Avira won’t be making a name for itself with this antivirus program which offers not only an impressive range of features for a free antivirus program but also a very impressive detection rate. We take a look at how it stacks up in a now crowded field of virus checkers.
Sometimes we don’t need to know anything about our computers except how many resources they have available. Sometimes we need to delve a little deeper in order to install new hardware or software, or diagnose any problems. Rarely, we have a need to look at the full information about our computer or a part of it — from the GUID of our network card to the size of our processors Instructions cache. For those situations there’s the excellent – although unoriginally named – System Information for Windows.
Another browser? If you’re like us, you might getting a little disillusioned by all the recent browser releases and update that all essentially look the same and do the same things. Flock is different, however. It actually has a niche that won’t appeal to everyone, but if you one of the millions who enjoys using social networking to keep up with friends, family the world, it could be your new favourite browser.
If you’re tired of Windows Media Player, PowerDVD and all the other resource hungry players out there, you might want to take a look at this next review – VLC is hands down the best media player for Windows and Linux. Not only is it free and lightweight, it supports a much wider range of features and codec support than many of it’s peers. We take a look at everything the player offers.
SyncToy is a member of the XP ‘power tools’ suite that gives users of the now dated operating some additional functionality without charge. Although some of the power tool set hasn’t been updated for many years, SyncToy has had a more recent upgrade. We take a look at how you can use Synctoy 2.0 to give XP another useful feature.
