Do you have a favorite line in a movie or video that you want to listen to over and over again in your MP3 player? The usual option is to record the audio of the film with another gadget or have another application record the audio. Although those options are good, the audio quality is often not movie quality. The sound will not be too loud or additional sounds might even be recorded (for external gadgets).

That’s where Agogo FLV to MP3 Converter excels. Instead of letting you use a third party application, Agogo FLV will rip the sound off the video and convert it them into MP3 for your listening pleasure.

Don’t be fooled with the title. The application is not only able to rip audio from FLV files but could also rip audio from different formats. Even audios from videos straight from DVDs could be ripped and converted into MP3.  Audios from SVCD and VCDs could even be ripped. The audios from 3gp files (usually from mobile devices) could also be ripped.

Like most rippers, this requires a little bit of familiarization especially if you want to work with DVDs. Instead of playing the DVD automatically for selecting the audio source, you need to manually open the files in the disc from your computer to extract the video. But once the file has been loaded in the application, you just point the location of the audio for easy ripping. You could even rip the entire film or in batches of files. Automatic shutdown option is also possible if think your ripping will last for hours.

Notepad is a very handy application for everyone. It’s a lightweight application that could store a lot of data without requiring a lot of memory when stored in the local gadget. But even if it’s lightweight, it’s versatile enough to be launched in different gadgets (mobile devices) and could even be used by software developers to make some changes in their application. But notepad will stay the same which means its features may not be able to adopt to new needs such as article generation or extensive software coding.

That’s where Text Master comes in. Developed by Nontube.com this lightweight application could do the things the notepad could do and more. Aside from simple writing functions, the font could be changed as well as the background.

But aside from simple changes in your document, you could get advanced data from your document. You could know how many times the word occurs in the document, remove unnecessary portions such as blank lines in the notepad or even automate the application to insert certain text. You could insert text at the beginning in the regular notepad but Text Master will help you insert text in the beginning and even after the end of the text.

If you’re into article generation, this should also be your choice of application. Text Master has the ability to randomize lines. All you need to do is to write certain lines with the same messages and the application will randomly mix the lines to build a different article.

Best of all, this application is free to use and the file size is less than 1MB so installing and uninstalling the application is a breeze.

Most of the music players used today come with video playback capabilities. The preference is observed to prevent any additional software installed that could cause cluttering in the system. Applications that have the ability to play music and videos also come in as lightweight to prevent the application from becoming a memory hog.

But that doesn’t mean standalone music players are dead or obsolete. Moo0 (Moo and the Number 0) Audio Player is a great example that a standalone music player could still be useful. This free application from Moo0.com makes everything simple. The interface is only composed of essentials – playlist, audio playback controls, volume, progress bar and a small message to inform the users if the application is ready to play. Customization is only limited to skins wherein you can change the color of the interface. Loading music could be done by dragging the music in the playlist and enabling them to play is fast depending on the activity on the local gadget.

Controls could be done either by the use of mouse or arrows which is automatically activated when the player is on top. The unique control of the application is on its CTRL + Left or Right cursors which are used to forward or back in seconds.

The only downside of the application is its limited availability on OS (Operating System). The current version (v. 1.31) is only available for Windows XP and the developers are strongly cautioning users not to use the player in non-XP Operating Systems.

Windows OS has a built-in application that lets users uninstall applications at will. There many applications today that don’t have the uninstall function and the only way to remove them is through the Windows application found in the control panel.

If you don’t like to use what the OS offers you, there are many uninstaller applications to choose from. One of those applications is Handy Uninstaller from flexbyte.com. Instead of opening the control panel before finding the uninstall/install option, you could launch the application right from your desktop.

Some refuse the need of this type of application because of the availability of the uninstall/install option in the control panel. This is actually a good reason but consider the additional features Handy Uninstaller provides:

• Search Options – instead of going through the list, users should be able to search for the specific application and uninstall them. The search function is found on top of the application so users won’t miss this functionality.
• User Friendly Interface – probably the best feature of Handy Uninstaller. The left side interface automatically groups the applications according to their functions – from audio, video, games even the Microsoft applications are grouped together.
• Faster Start-up – compared to the built-in application of Windows OS, the Handy Uninstaller is a lot faster. The reason for this increase of speed is its dedication to uninstall function only instead of additional install option which no regular user use in Windows OS.

Handy Uninstaller maybe a similar application built-in the OS but it comes with features that make the additional application worth using.
