Songbird is a media player, but not all media players are quoted as promising “to be the Firefox of media players”.

Apparently the user interface is very similar to iTunes, but the main thing I noticed about this media player is its ability to list all the sound or video files on a page, almost as if they were local files.

You see how this thing operates, is you surf to sites such as mp3 blogs etc, by using the built-in browser, and all the media on the page will be listed. You can then choose if you would like to save or play any of these songs/videos locally to your collection. Of course you can also play and organize playlists etc, with your current mp3 or video collection that resides on your computer.

It is pretty cool to be able to instantly play media without having to open it in a separate program.

This might be useful software for anyone who routinely browses for music or videos online. You can find out more details and download it by clicking here!

Here is a useful tool for you. Cleanerzoomer. With this cool tool you can now get great enlarged images from your zoomed pictures.

Cleanerzoomer utilizes a complex multi-stage processing technology to accurately remove digital noise and JPEG artifacts from images; another modification of that technology, called ‘Nova Sharpen’, allows sharpening of blurry images producing an amazing crispness never possible to achieve using standard techniques.

With Cleanerzoomer, you can get clean and clear images of your zoomed pictures. It uses Nova Sharpen after an image has been enlarged to achieve an absolutely crisp and naturally-looking zoomed picture. I really love the additional Auto-balance instrument which is able to balance color, and other intricate qualities of the image greatly increasing its realism.

The new version, Cleanerzoomer 3.6 has been updated for speed optimization.

ArtRage is a really cool art program that is almost as good as the real thing, but without the expense or mess! You can “paint” very impressive paintings on your computer.
There is obviously a lot of added benefits, if you make a mistake you can easily undo or change it, unlike the real world.

You can create any style of painting or drawing that you can imagine, from cartoons to oil paintings. There’s lots of different things to use such as crayons, pencils ,oils, chalk, markers etc. Paints smear and blend just like the real world and things can be adjusted in many ways. The interface is very easy to use, simple and tidy.

Check out the ArtRage site for more details, the free edition is free (surprise surprise) but the full edition is only $19.95, surprisingly good value in my opinion!
