Foobar2000, Another Excellent Audio Player for Microsoft Windows Platform!

Not everyone one uses GNU/Linux... and I thought to be fair ;) I should write one or two good music players for Microsoft Windows as well. First of all, GNU/Linux does not make it any easier for anyone to play proprietary codes by default, but that's not to say Windows does not. For instance, the default so called "media player" in Windows OS can actually play very restricted amounts of codes only (unless you install codes like in GNU/Linux).

But the only difference in MS Windows platform, since it's been used by millions and all that + they care a bit less about philosophies that GNU/Linux is based on, etc you can easily Google and find hundreds if not thousands of multimedia players within seconds.

But not all those player as worth talking about either. Anyway, if you want an excellent, dedicated audio player (no videos) that comes with all the advanced features that any other audio player comes with nowadays such as...

*. Album/playlist support.

*. Fully featured Equalizer.

*. Few visualizations.

*. Easily change between "views" (make it look like Winamp GUI, etc).

Powerful preference settings window...

*. Gain audio.

*. Supports all the audio codecs by default.

*. Edit tags of your audio files.

*. Audio CD ripping within the player.

*. Addon/Component support by using which you can easily "add" new features such as Audio CD writer, Lyrics grabber, etc.

If you want to give it a try, then please get it from this foobar2000 download page. Get additional components from this page. Enjoy!.

Copy Files More Faster Using TeraCopy Application for Windows!

The default file copy and paste utility in windows (especially in XP) does not provide you with any real useful options, other than that "cancel" button. Now with windows Vista and 7 Microsoft has introduced a GUI which shows the current speed but that's it.

There were these times I got into some real troubles with this over simplified GUI such as - this one time I started lots of file copying (simultaneously.. yikes!) and nearly got the PC to stuck, almost!. And sadly the only way that I had to stop it from crashing was to just cancel the copying files, etc.

Pretty Cool Right?...

Then I though what if I had a utility which lets us even pause and start the copying of files in real time, which would have been really great. So I went ahead and started searching for one, and that's how I found out about this great little tool called Teracopy.

It will...

*. Copy any file faster than the default windows built in software....

*. Have the ability to pause and resume the process ..

*. Support simultaneous file transferring processes ..

*. By default, just go ahead and paste multiple files and you'll see that rather than just starting them at the same time, Teracopy will add them to its list and will finish each, one by one (but if you're impatient dude like me, you can just start them simultaneously as well)

*. It even will try to copy multiple times those bad sectors that windows just fails....

So these are just few of the main functions. Now they have both a free and a pro version (with more added functions but still the free version is more than enough for most of us, thanks Teracopy dudes!). Wanna try it then... Click here to download it.
