Yep, PowerTab rocks. ProTools too.

I thought I couldn't live without Nero for the wave editor it came with for converting WMA files to MP3, until it then refused to work and told me I had to buy the full version, despite getting the full version of Nero 5.5

Anyone know where I can download a good MP3 convertor?

 

I got one called dBPowerAmp Converter. Its brilliant. Can convert to just about about audio format u want it to convert to...so long as u got all the codecs and that...

 

whoops...wrong thread...

 

Nice one, thanks mate, just downloaded it, I'll give it a go

 

Couple of additions to my previous post way back when...

1. Another vote for Media Player 11 - I like it alot. I also paid for the DVD/MP3 XPack which allows for DVD decoding and MP3 encoding as I only had options for WMA at first.

2. ISO Recorder (http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm) - Just literally come across this in the last half hour but is probably well known. Gives the option to burn ISO images when the *.iso is right-clicked.

 

Here are a couple more little programs that I'm starting to rely on more and more.

Crossloop

Spiceworks

 

To burn iso file, I use magiciso. It is quite good iso burner.

wow a good one!!

I personally can't live without
Total Commander
Opera
winamp
belarc
putty

with me everywhere I go on my usb drive
run by a briliant pStart soft

 

First thing's no questions asked are:
KIS
Process Explorer
Opera
Miranda
WOW(world of warcraft),dont ask why :-"

 

How cool.. someone else has seen the light

 

Has to be boot cds for me or Winternals ERD or live CDs like Ubuntu Live. Lets u access dead systems or go online etc with no OS. Do all sorts of repair work with these.

 

Programs I cant live without...? Thats easy ;-)

Firefox and Outlook, lol

 

WOW - computer smack, I got out before getting too hooked.

My progs

Firefox
dvd shrink
open office/word
speed fan
Sql

 

One of the handiest programs I have come across is Synergy. It's great when you have multiple computers on your desk, it allows you to control them all from a single keyboard and mouse if you have them connected to a network.

 

Id have to say one of my most useful programs i use on my laptop is Any DVD. Means i can watch my non standard dvd's without having to worry about there region [Firefly on dvd but region 7 i think it is].

To go alongside that i have media player 11 with a nice HDTV codec pack, means i can watch hdtv quality video on my pc

Other programs include - MCafee security centre (to stop all those hacking scumbags ), Spyare doctor and Adaware to stop those dam irritating pop up/under windows.

A new one ive found is power dvd, very good for backing up my software ( useually for when i rebuild my machine and find my disc has been shattered or scratched to oblivion)

Thats about all i can think of at the moment.
