In addition to burning data (which I just had an opportunity to test tonight), this program did for free what my commercial cd burner software (came with the computer/cd-r drive) won't do unless I pay for an upgrade: burn an .iso file. Big thanks to Glorylogic!

I'd been running AntiVir PE for quite some time when one day it just quit working. I tried to scan a file I'd just downloaded and Antivir started the scan, then locked up. Tried again, same thing. Tried a different file, same thing. Rebooting didn't help, re-installing didn't help. Same thing happened on my sister's computer. I liked the program just fine until it stopped working. Obviously it works for other people. I had to switch to Avast!, which hasn't had any problems so far.

I just used this a little while ago to rip my favorite tracks from two of my CDs and then used RecordNow to burn them to a disc. Audiograbber ripped 7 tracks straight to .mp3 so quickly I couldn't believe it. Excellent program.

A.F.5 Rename your files version 1.1

  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5

Especially after you've spent any time renaming files manually. I got tired of doing that, so I searched and came across this program. I downloaded it, tried it out and my search was over. It was exactly what I needed.

Audacity
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP

qleft  I can't believe it's not shareware!  qright

Audacity version 1.2.0
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

This program is brilliant! I've used it to make .mp3s and .wavs recorded from line in & mic input and edit multiple tracks at one time, cut from one and paste into another. I can plug my guitar into my amp modeler and that into my computer and record myself playing and *really* hear where my mistakes are. :) I used Cool Edit for a while, the crippled version, but now I can use Audacity and record, play, edit, apply various effects, import audio and save in the format I choose. Try it and I bet you'll want to burn it to a CD.
