I am still trying to get a hang on this download app. It is complicated in that it comes with other app that one wouldn’t exactly find useful.

Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) leverages patented technology, ease of use and rich features including: multi-connections for fastest download from most responsive servers, auto-recovery from lost connections and errors, AlwaysResume (where standard resume is not supported), scheduling, file management tools, auto hang-up and much more.

As for me there are other better and more efficient download managers out there, but then “one’s man’s poison is another man’s food”. It may be good enough for you.

One thing about MediaMonkey is that it keeps improving with every new version. I first came in contact with it when I needed an app to convert file formats. Now it’s a universal music manager working with a very wide range of file formats.

Its app window is so beautiful one could get satisfied by just staring at it. It organizes your music and edits tags in your audio library with a powerful, intuitive interface, automatically looks up  media info from the Internet. You could also sync iPhones, iPods, & MP3 players, converting & leveling tracks on-the-fly.

Media monkey is the best as far as I’m concerned. It also allows you customize your window with Skins, plugins, visualizations, and hundreds of user-written scripts that extend MediaMonkey’s functionality.

The latest version – MediaMonkey 3.1.0.1213 Beta, was released just last week with some cool upgrades, check it out at www.mediamonkey.com/

A full-featured multi-resource calendar application designed specifically for planning, managing, and scheduling important dates and times.

Pros: eReminder is a calendar application that enables you to save appointments, tasks, events, contacts, notes and more. An all around schedule management tool that simplifies the process of getting things done from day to day by better managing your time. You can view several schedules at the same time (example: your office schedule, your personal schedule, etc.) as well as standard day by day calendar view (view by day, week, month, or year) and grid view. Automatic reminders are set for important events, appointments, birthdays, anniversaries etc. The program will also inform you by email of the same: It automatically keeps track of recurring events. It provides simple interfaces to share information with MS Outlook, MS Project / MS Project Server, and Intuit QuickBooks. It also has a very decent print function that prints out in a nice easy human readable format. The calendar can also be shared with family, friends, colleagues, with the option of having certain information (events) as private and others as public.

Cons: There is little to complain about here. But a better interface would really have completed the package. As it stands the interface does all that is required of it, but one thing that is especially irritating is the Parrot helper. The Parrot constantly comes up with messages as if it were a personal secretary. There is probably some way to turn it off but it couldn’t be found during testing. The price is also too high and this kind of functionality can be purchased for less, or even for free.

An organizing for all your MP3 music files, as well as other media files including photos and videos.

Pros: MP3 Music Organizer Platinum is a software tool that enables you to organize several different kinds of music files. It is basically an MP3 organizer and optimized for this function, but it also does a good job of organizing photos and video. In fact, in tests, it did a better job of organizing photos (albeit because the photos were well named). It can organize MP3, WMA, OGG, AAC, WAV and hundreds of other music file types. It has the capacity to recognize ID3v1, ID3v2 and ID3v3 tags, extract all relevant information and organize files accordingly. Similarly it can read the header and file properties information for photos and videos to sort those files. The interface is very attractive and extremely easy to use.

Cons: Although MP3 Music Organizer has a wealth of organization functions, and it performs all of these tasks admirably well, the problem is that some of the organizing approaches are not going to be useful for a lot of users (for example the software tends to organize music files by type, which is not something which is desirable). The customization options are limited, and finer grained control is required for this software to be truly effective. The utility of the non-duplication function depends on how the original files have been named, in many cases the names differ enough to leave both copies. The trial version does not work very well, and it is unlikely that people will be patient enough to upgrade to the full version. The success of the software is dependent on the quality of the original file naming.
