Winamp
Undoubetly the best MP3 player in this universe. Well, actually that is not
entirely
a true statement since there is probably no audio file format that this cool
thing does not support and MP3 is but one of them. In fact, I would incur the
wrath of millions of Winamp users if I classify it as a MP3 player. To it's
many fans Winamp is not a player. It's a lifestyle.

CDex
CDex is a is utility which can extract / rip Digital Audio
tracks from your Audio CD and save it as MP3 files onto your hard disk. For
those who are still wondering why they need such a software, its because of
this: an audio CD stores the track information in a WAV format. With this
format, lets say a 5 minute song takes about 30 to 40 MB of space on your
CD. If you directly store the track on your hard disk in this format, its
goodbye to your precious hard disk space. With CDex you can rip audio tracks
from the CD and easily store them on the hard disk in the
popular MP3 format which compresses the file 10 to 12 times to a more
manageable size of around 3 to 4 MB.

ICQ 2000b
If you don't know what ICQ is then you really are new to the net. This is
probably the best instant messenger available today. Chat with millions of
registered icq users. The latest version even allows you to send SMS messages to
mobile phones in any part of the world. The amount of features available on ICQ
makes MSN and Yahoo messengers look like poor imitations. Need I say more?

again. Copernic is an intelligent agent that carries out your net-searches by
simultaneously
consulting the most important search engines of the Internet . The software

WordWeb

your birthday. Look up the meanings of thousands of words in an instant on your
computer. If you come across a word that is not available in this dictionary,
you have the option of looking it up on the wordweb site on the net. This one
