WavePad Sound Editor Audio Editing Software - Sound, Music, Voice & Mp3 Editor

This sound editing software is a full featured professional audio and music editor for Windows and Mac OS X. It lets you record and edit music, voice and other audio recordings. When editing audio files you can cut, copy and paste parts of recordings then add effects like echo, amplification and noise reduction. WavePad works as a wav or mp3 editor but it also supports a number of other file formats including vox, gsm, wma, real audio, au, aif, flac and ogg. We make this program free because we know you will love it so much you will want to upgrade to WavePad Master's Edition which has additional effects and features for the serious sound engineer. Download WavePad Master's Edition demo or purchase the WavePad Master's Edition version.

A little web app, ConvertIcon, by the developers of rocketdock. Just click on Useapp, converts png, gif, jpeg into an icon or png. Different size options and works with pretty good quality.

Two programs i used for a long time and very useful in 7:
-Deluge BitTorrent Client: a Bittorrent client good for throttled bandwidth, and have many good features.
-ExplorerXP: As the name indicates, designed for windows xp and no update since September 2005.
Working great on windows seven as windows explorer emergency replacement, and Have good features like directory size realtime calculation, crawl inside protected folders without changing the security, batch rename, and many more.
cheers.

I've always been a nut for properly tagging my Music files with the appropriate ID3v2 metatags, and since Vista, I've been doing the same with my picture file too.

I've never been able to do this with video files, untill I found abcAVI Tag Editor, a great utility for tagging AVI video files:

abcAVI Tag Editor is little stand alone utility for viewing/editing tags in AVI files. In short it allows you to get information on movie from Internet Movie Database or type it by yourself and save that info inside AVI file. Supports RIFF INFO tags, MovieID tags, IDivX tags. Allows editing more than 40 tags, not only "Title", "Subject" and "Copyright". Support of RIFF INFO tags ensures backward compatibility with standard Windows players like MS Media Player.

It was last updated 19 October 2005, but still works great on Vista and Windows 7. I was curious though if anyone knows of a similar utility that is still actively being updated by the developers?

It was originally created for Linux, however, they have made it so it runs on Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP/Vista/7.
