[Black Angel]

ok i got a really good one... its called station ripper.. it records the shoutcast audio streams of winamp.. my bf found it on no nags.. and ill tell you this... i need a new hard drive... within 24 hours time, i had already recorded 6 gigs of music from 2 streams... it saves the actual song with the title and the bitrate it was streamed to your computer.. it also filters out the commercials.. heres the link.. www.download.com/StationRipper/3000-2168_4-10254989.html it works like a charm.

Antivirus:
AVG - www.grisoft.com/us/us_index.php
Avast - www.avast.com/
AntiVir - www.free-av.com/
Panda ActiveScan - www.pandasoftware.com/activescan

Panda's Online Antivirus Scanner is commendable, I haven't used their software as yet though. I have AVG installed on my system, but not on LiveProtect, I've got ZoneAlarm and Kaspersky doing that.

Audio Players:
Foobar2000 - www.foobar2000.org/
Sonique - sonique.lycos.com/
iTunes - www.apple.com/itunes/
jetAudio - www.jetaudio.com/

Winamp - www.winamp.com/

Winamp pwns all.

AutoPlay. ;D

Download Managers:
WackGet - millweed.com/projects/wackget/

Video Utilities:
KVCD - www.KVCD.net
TMPGEnc - www.tmpgenc.net/

Netscape - channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/default.jsp
MyIE2 - www.myie2.com/
