CDex- best ripper
DScaler- TV tuner WinAmp- best media player |
Email client: Eudora, EudoraLight

For ripping music off a CD, I like EAC (Exact Audio Copy).
Pegasus is another free email client. :) Cricket |
i like opera for my internet.
|
Maybe add DVD/(S)VCD/video editing software:
TMPGEnc (versions up to 12a are free) DVDx VirtualDub VDub-mp3-freeze VDubMod VCDGear VCDEasy ISO buster DVD2SVCD Kristal codec pack. BeSweet CCE Ecl Avisynth Audio editing: Audacity Other: Push the Freakin' Button Chat: mIRC |

I'd also add Exact Audio Copy as well as Cdex to the list.
|
I agree 100% with Doobie. DAP is loaded with spyware. I tried it out awhile ago, and wow. Spybot and Adaware went crazy.
You may also want to add iTunes to the list as well. Not only can it be used to play Audio files, but can also rip, burn, and encode. As well as access the CDDB, so you don't have to manually type in all the info when you rip one of your CD's. |
Not everyone has a dvd burner, and for those of us still doing (S)VCD's, you need different software. Gordian doesn't have everything...

EZ Armour suite- includes av and zonealarm pro- free for one year.

Heads-up. Mirc: EVIL! use scoop script instead, or better yet Trillian's IRC is even better. Mirc and even scoop(which is less so)are prone to attract viruses and slammers. besides which they're just a little...you know...wrong way-rubbing. I get an off feeling when I use 'em.

doesn't the 602 suite get hit with adaware and spybot?
iL system wiper, clear temps and cookies with one click. Lots of options to set what gets wiped. Nice. http://iisoftware.net/ cat |

Thanks, kram |

mIRC is not evil. People who don't use it right may be evil.
Scoop is stupid. Invision, or Sysreset are much better scripts. |
