ACDSee
Picture Viewer - This one really picks
up the pace when it comes to opening bmps, jpegs
and gifs. Comes with a picture browser ideal for
viewing a large number of pictures in a
particular directory. Can be downloaded from www.acdsystems.com/products/acdsee/ . File size - 4040KB (Shareware
- I think a 30 day trial)
Audiograbber - A quite good mp3
software which can be used in conjunction with Blade Enc to create mp3 files.
Blade Enc is freeware and can be downloaded from http://bladeenc.home.ml.org. It is freeware and is not much in size.
The most useful function of audiograbber besides
the normal ones is that it can be used to
normalize (equalise the default volume) wav files
before converting to mp3 format which means no
more problems of the default volume being too
high or too low. I have audiograbber v1.5 and it
normalizes quite properly but I found that when I
installed the newer v1.6 it gave an error message
saying wav format is not 8-bit PCI or something
like that. V1.5 could normalize the same file
without any problem. Must be because I have a lot
of such software and one of them must be
interfering creating the problem. You can
download Audiograbber from www.audiograbber.com-us.net. File size - 1105KB (Shareware-Selects
randomly half the songs on a cd and only these
can be converted)
Cookie
crusher - A really good software for crushing
cookies. Does not allow cookies to get stored on
the hard disk and has a quite informative session
history. Can be automatically opened when ie or
netscape is opened. Names of cookies which are to
be accepted can also be given. Can be downloaded
from www.thelimitsoft.com . File size - not much.
(shareware - 30 day trial)
Jet
audio - One of the
best all-in-one players available. Has some
superb effects for mp3s such as 3D, reverb and
wide as well as special effects such as flange,
dry, pitch change and a few more. Compatible with
a large no of file types such as mp3, wav, mid,
ra, mov and so on. Newest version includes Real
Player G2 support. Also has a audio and video CD
mode. Can be downloaded from www.cowon.com.
File size - over 7MB (quite large!) (Shareware-30
day trial)
Naviscope - A really good
internet software (proxy server) which can be
used to block ads and prefetch pages. Does
improve speed and more importantly removes those
pesky ads. Provides a lot of information
regarding transfer of data to and from the net
and also has additional functions such as keeping
time and displaying memory resources. Can be
downloaded from www.naviscope.com. File size - not sure (freeware)
Protector
Plus - A really
small anti-virus software. Works okay (does
detect viruses, I can tell you that). But until
now the viruses it detected were all harmless
word macros on floppies (I am saying this from
the description of the viruses from various anti-virus
sites). So I dont really know whether it can deal
with the more nasty ones. I have Mcafee to deal
with those but thankfully I have been spared the
trouble till now. Can be downloaded from www.pspl.com.Virus definition files are updated
regularly at the site and interestingly are as
big as the software itself! File size - 1MB (can
you believe it!) (shareware-30 day trial)
Talking
e-mail - Reads out your e-mail and clipboard
contents. Different characters and voices can be
downloaded. Characters show animation. Can be
downloaded from www.4dev.com . File size - 5.5MB(shareware
- multiple characters not supported and some
other limitations)
