This is similar but TuneUp is still better, imo.

What's the standard for firewall and antivirus now(for win7)? I have Zonealarm and avira, but it seems like there's some overlap on functionality now. What are people here using?

I use pro software for this but doesn't the free Windows Movie Maker also do this? You will need a Firewire (most likely) cable or USB depending on what your camera supports. Also make sure you get a cable with the correct type of connections on each end.

Gimp 2.8 has been released for Windows.
It can be download at http://www.gimp.org/

Finally! Man it seems like it has taken forever, thanks for sharing this. I only check every 4 months or so for a new version. Downloading now, cannot wait.

thx, I'll give it a try. Hopefully this version won't instacrash my system like previous versions did.

There are already some suggestions in this thread, but what is the newest/best alternative to iTunes?

what are the features you want? are you talking about a place to buy music, or a tool that plays it?

Mainly a tool to play music. iTunes feels slow and bloated so just trying to see what else is out there. If there's something where you can buy and play then that would be ideal. Thanks.

To be honest, I use Google Music and their connector from iTunes to listen to music. Seamless transition from the web, and it works on my Android devices perfectly.

If you just want to play music give foobar2000 a shot. It's extremely light weight and very customizable. I've been using it for like 8 years, it hasn't failed me once.

it certainly won't feel bloated to you, i use it and it is brilliant for me.

It's probably the most light weight mp3 player you can find that's fully featured and very flexible. It also opens remote locations so using it to listen to streams is no problem.

I have it open right now with 27 songs in a play list. It's using less than 4mb of ram while playing and it's not even touching the CPU load (my CPU is a C2D 6420e and is approaching 5 years old).

Cool. I'll give it a try tonight. Thanks for the advice.

I'm having a party at the weekend and I am busy ripping all my CDs to MP3s.

I need a jukebox software app which anyone can use to add music to a playlist which will play via my laptop to an amp / speakers.

I guess what I want is a graphical display of my music library and an easy option to add to playlist.

Years ago I used Musicmatch with reasonable success.

I use VLC for MP3 playback these days but I don't think it's interface is good enough for non-techies to use.

Any suggestions?


Thanks.
