Zortam Mp3 Media Studio is all-in-one Mp3 application that is really loaded.

Why do I call it loaded?

It contains MP3 organizer for searching and cataloguing Mp3 files into Mp3 library, editing ID3v1 and ID3v2.3 tags converting audio CD to MP3 and WAV format using CDDB.  With Zortam Media Studio you can easily search for song lyrics from the internet, also get batch lyrics and cover picture update from the internet, create lyrcis book. But that’s not all converting Wav to Mp3 files and Mp3 to Wav files, managing M3u playlists, renaming files using ID3 tags, searching for duplicate Mp3 files are among the other cool features available in this cool tool.

See what I mean by loaded?

In the latest version, the major change effected is:

• Improved algorithm for Zortam auto tagging from Zortam Music Database (ZMLIMD)

Ever tried WordPipe? This tool takes all the hard work out of replacing text across multiple Microsoft Word documents. All you have to do is just run WordPipe across your file server or website to fix all affected documents in one hit, yeah it’s that simple.

The new version which has just been recently released by Crystal Software, these latest changes have been effected:

• Now allows blank ‘Highlight’ field on Excel import, and also displays any import errors 
• New option to allow highlighted text to be removed 
• Replace inside field codes now checks if the document has field codes displayed first, and also restores the document’s original settings on save – Added missing ‘Highlight’ column header to .tab export
• If Prompting is on and the Replacement text is changed, now accepts the change
• Status tab switches to main (first) tab if there is a warning about backup files not being removed or restored

The only hitch with this software is that it’s off the roof in the pricing zone, my way of saying too expensive, but that’s my own opinion, go try it out, it  may just be what you need, or at least you may get enjoy the trial version for free.

If you’ve been searching for a good multi-function time and date calculator but the ones you have been coming across just don’t cut it, then this might be just the thing for you, it’s called TimeCalcPro.

So what does TimeCalcPro do?

TimeCalcPro is a multi-function time and date calculator. Its features include addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of units of time. That’s not all, it adds and subtracts AM/PM times, finds the difference between dates and times, lets you add and subtract from a starting date, and has a spreadsheet for calculating timecard totals and overtime.

What I love about this cool tool is that its five calculator interfaces are simple to use, and offer many options. For example, you can choose to receive answers in days, hours, minutes, seconds or any combination that you desire.

The only hitch with this software is the price, shelling out $30 for a multi-function time and date calculator doesn’t seem like my idea of a great deal but I guess it all depends on how badly you need it and the trial version is available for those of us who are not willing to cough up the dough.

Have you ever loaded a piece of software and seen a sort of title screen for the software while it was loading? This title screen usually has information about the program version, name and release date and might also include a couple of graphics in order to help users identify a specific corporate or proprietary software brand. Did you know that you could make these screens for your own programs too if you wanted to do so? Well, one of the ways that you can do it is through the use of the Splash Screen software being discussed here.

The opening splash screen for the software makes it look like a Microsoft product, but don’t be fooled; this is a freeware product created by the excellent BitLaboratory.com. The product will allow you to use a number of different options such as the image and the transition and then sit back and see what results. The splash screen is quite fun to tinker with and that is perhaps why even this simple program has the ability to enjoy a large amount of popularity.  It is still in an early phase of development, but you can expect there to be many new versions to come with new functionality and usage.

If you’ve had issues with malware and malicious applications destroying the flow data on your PC then this will definitely be good news for you, ThreatFire.

ThreatFire is an application designed to protect your computer against malware such as trojans, spyware, rootkits, keyloggers, and buffer overflows by intelligently detecting and blocking behavior consistent with that of malware.

What I love about this software is that it does its great work by constantly monitoring your system, and analyzing programs and process activity.

Another good thing about this tool is that it automatically quarantines the malware [if it is a known threat] detected requiring no further action is required on your part. If the threat is unknown, or new, then ThreatFire will display an alert and prompt you to Allow or Quarantine the process. All alerts provide detailed information to help you make an informed decision.
