If you’re like the average internet surfer, chances are you’ve developed a very large collection of music over the years.   Ever since peer to peer surfing has come about starting with Napster and then getting larger and larger as time goes on, what we are finding is that many people that have large music collections just keep downloading songs time and time again, with new songs just getting added to the list as they continue to download. This is what causes the large growth of their music collections and when it gets to a certain point, a music collection can be quite difficult to sift through.

This is exactly where the TagScanner software comes in.  It is a program capable of a range of functions all relating to the organization of larger music collections. It allows you to browse through the files on your computer and organize your music files by changing the tags on them. Tags that can be changed include things like album, artist name, song title and anything else you can think of that would be pertinent to cataloguing and organizing a music collection. It can also automatically rename files for you based on the tags that you give them and therefore allows you to automate some of the more mundane tasks of organization.

One of the reasons that software has become so popular in today’s world is because different pieces of software can do very specialized things. The perfect example of this is the IceAmpTitle 2.8.0.0. This is a piece of software designed to do one thing and one thing only, but it is able to do that one thing in a fantastic way.

The basic idea behind the IceAmpTitle 2.8.0.0 is to get the name of the song that your music player is currently playing and display it in a window on your desktop. The positioning of the window can be changed as can a number of other aesthetic things such as the font size and colour. There are a lot of customizable things to the software package and the final result, but the main point is that you can get the software to retrieve the name of the current song and unobtrusively display it in your desktop so that you don’t have to waste your time pulling up the music player in order to find the song name and artist name.

It currently works for the WinAmp, Sonique, K-Jofol, FreeAmp and Coolplayer audio players and it is expected that more will be following.

If you’re like, chances are you download a lot of stuff and save a lot of stuff from Microsoft Office programs onto your hard drive. In some cases, you might even have remnants of old folders that were part of an earlier attempt to organize files on your hard drive. I know that at one point I have up to three or four different generations worth of organizational folders on my hard drive and in some cases had the same file saved once in all of them! Redundancy is a bad thing because it can really hamper your ability to save new files onto your hard drive, but if you download Folder Size 1.3, you can figure out where the redundancies might be and cut them down.

With Folder Size 1.3 installed, what you are going to find is that when you highlight a folder, a bar graph will appear with the sizes of all of the folders contained in that folder clearly highlighted for you to see. You don’t have to go to the properties of each folder any more to figure out what is where and ultimately this will make the process of cleaning up your hard drive much easier to do. In addition to that, there are a number of different tasks that are easier now because you can see the size of each folder right away.

Bindex media manager is software for indexing your DVD,CD and MP3 disc collection. A cool feature is the ability (at least in theory) to scan the barcodes of your dvds, also known as UPC codes. This is done by using your webcam!

This unique feature didn’t work for me even after a while of trying, but they explain that you need very good lighting and a very good web cam, so I was a little disappointed. When I entered my movie manually, I was again disappointed that the dvd cover picture appears so small and where’s all the cool details I was hoping to see about the dvd?

There are none apart from only the most basic…Year, Widescreen, etc.

To sum it up, apart from the novelty value of scanning with a webcam, this software is a little disappointing, at least where dvds are concerned ( i didn’t test MP3 discs or CDs). It has a lot of potential but right now i’ll pass! Although maybe it’s suitable for those who require less detail and have a huge collection to index,but thats my opinion anyway.

As for the webcam thing, you better have a good one or it’ll be more like Blindex!

If more often than not you type similar data day in day out, this software can help you reduce the effort and time spent on typing. Quick-Type automates your typing for you. You simply give Quick-Type all the common pieces of text you type, along with a keyword for each of them. Then whenever you type that keyword in future, it gets replaced with your text.

The only problem I have with this software is it that though it does a good job, I think it would fare better as freeware getting donations than expecting people to cough up $15 for this kind of  typing tool. Right now it’s a shareware, so a trial version is available for free, check it out, and be the judge of whether it’s worth your 15 bucks or not. But I must confess it does what the publisher claims.

Do you have an ever growing collection of files, data, mp3s etc that you have stored on discs and find it hard to keep track of? If your answer is yes, then CD Storage Master may be useful for you. It allows you to keep a searchable database of all your cd/dvd data.

You can track or search by many parameters such as file name, size, time created, modified,etc and also the metadata of files (like MP3 ID3 Tags, image info, Audio CD internet CDDB information, and more). In addition it can read these details from inside compressed archives.

It also has ‘Active Storage Monitor’…a neat feature to notify you if you insert a disc that isn’t already in its database.

So if you have a big collection of data on discs this might be real useful to catalogue and search them.
