Publisher's Description

SynthFont is a tool for playing/rendering MIDI files using SoundFonts and other similar sound sources. The result can be played back through a sound card or written to wave files. With SynthFont you can also create audio files (WAV, MP3, OGG, APE, FLAC) from your MIDI files. SynthFont´s main sound sources are SoundFonts, but also wave files, DLS and GIGA files - and now also VST Instruments - can be used.

SynthFont supports the use of both VST effects and instruments. SynthFont has some basic SoundFont editing capabilities and also shows the MIDI data in a Piano Roll and an Event list. A stand-alone VST instrument version of SynthFont is also available.

What´s New in version 1.540:

Bug fixes:

The Live Midi Input Mode was broken in version 1.530
Fixed some issues related to the Default SoundFont Override functionality
Fixed some other minor bugs and irregularities

New Features:

Added the midi file extension “.midi” to the list of known files (as an alternative to the old “.mid” extension)

Publisher's Description:

The winamp ipod plugin (aka ml_ipod) is a plugin for winamp. It allows you to manage your iPod from within the winamp media library. It supports all kinds of iPods, from the classic first generation iPods, to the iPod mini, photo, nano and shuffle and everything in between. A new style of iPod support called pmp_ipod is built into Winamp version 5.2 and above (and was developed by the former lead developer of ml_ipod). ml_ipod is therefore offered as an alternative for those who find the inbuilt iPod support

New features:

iPhone/iTouch support disabled by default, because newer devices and iTunes versions caused Winamp to crash. iOS 4 or 3 wasn't supported anyway, due to Apple's implemented protection to keep us out of the game. It can be re-enabled for older devices in the preferences, on the "Advanced" tab. You must restart Winamp after this change.

Publisher's Description:

xact Audio Copy is a so called audio grabber for audio CDs using standard CD and DVD-ROM drives. The main differences between EAC and most other audio grabbers are :

It is free (for non-commercial purposes)
It works with a technology, which reads audio CDs almost perfectly. If there are any errors that can’t be corrected, it will tell you on which time position the (possible) distortion occurred, so you could easily control it with e.g. the media player

With other audio grabbers you usually need to listen to every grabbed wave because they only do jitter correction. Scratched CDs read on CD-ROM drives often produce distortions. But listening to every extracted audio track is a waste of time. Exact Audio Copy conquer these problems by making use of several technologies like multi-reading with verify and AccurateRip.

OS: Win 9x/ME/NT/2K/XP/2K3/Vista/7

Publisher's Description:

ImgBurn is a lightweight CD / DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray burning application that everyone should have in their toolkit! All the latest drives are supported (including booktype / bitsetting on many of the major ones). Advanced functionality can be found in the ImgBurn context menus.

It has several 'Modes', each one for performing a different task:

Read - Read a disc to an image file
Build - Create an image file from files on your computer or network - or you can write the files directly to a disc
Write - Write an image file to a disc
Verify - Check a disc is 100% readable. Optionally, you can also have ImgBurn compare it against a given image file to ensure the actual data is correct
Discovery - Put your drive / media to the test! Used in combination with DVDInfoPro, you can check the quality of the burns your drive is producing

ImgBurn supports a wide range of image file formats - including BIN, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG and PDI.

It supports Unicode folder/file names, so you shouldn't run in to any problems if you're using an international character set.

ImgBurn supports all the Windows OS's - Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista and 2008 (including all the 64-bit versions). If you use Wine, it should also run on Linux and other x86-based Unixes.

It's a very flexible application with several advanced features that are often lacking in other tools, especially when it comes to burning DVD Video discs. It supports all the latest drives without the need for updates (including booktype / bitsetting / advanced settings on many of the major ones - i.e. BenQ, LiteOn, LG, NEC, Plextor, Samsung, Sony).

There is an image queue system for when you're burning several images (which you can automatically share between multiple drives if you have more than one) and an easy-to-use layer break selection screen for double layer DVD Video jobs. The Automatic Write Speed feature allows you store your favourite burn speed settings on a per 'Media ID' basis, right down to a drive by drive level. Data captured during the burn (write speed, buffer levels etc) can be displayed / analysed using DVDInfoPro.

Whilst ImgBurn is designed to work perfectly straight out of the box, advanced users will appreciate just how configurable it is.

Note from FreewareFiles: The setup program includes a toolbar which does not have to be installed to use the software.

Since version 2.5.1.0, ImgBurn adds shortcuts to your desktop which link to LiUtilities.

Publisher's Description:

Hanso Tagger is a “must” audio tool for the keen music listener created as a convenient solution for organizing vast music collections. The program was thought out as a complex, yet, easy to use, tagging tool to help you avoid misplacing music files or having a hard time managing your music preferences.

Hanso Tagger’s tag processing capabilities cover far-reaching needs and are easily accessible to all-range users. Using an easy-to-work-with interface, Hanso Tagger carries out a bunch of various tasks – it fills in missing ID3 tag fields like title, artist, album, genre, year using portions of filenames, downloads ID3 tags via popular services like Amazon and FreeDB, exports available tags for a backup or additional processing, imports ID3 tags from a database through a CSV file (for this, Internet connection is required).

The range of formats supported by Hanso Tagger is very large (MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, FLAC, APE, WV, M4A, AAC, MPC) and the program makes possible working simultaneous with all of them. For needs involving creating playlists, renaming files, sorting out folders, exporting info to multiple formats and more, Hanso Tagger is one of the best available solutions – tasks such as editing files, playing files, enqueuing files in winamp, loading images are made extremely easy and enjoyable.
