  1. Review - MediaMonkey

    2.5.3.959 RC2 (May 18, 2006)

    The essential program for any audiophile! I've been using it for a few months now and still discover new functions and options. Never had problems syncing with my iPod. Has endless options for tagger. Every feature is thought about thoroughly. I'm not satisfied about the Winamp plug-ins integration, most don't work and I can't find a list of compatible plug-ins. Also they could drop skin-support, not needed in my opinion. Overall it's the best music program I've encountered but you could probably stick with Winamp if you don't have a lot of music and want a small sleek interface.

  2. Review - Mozilla Firefox (v2) for Windows

    2.0 Alpha 2 (May 18, 2006)

    Alpha 2 seems to be a very stable release, I've been running it for a few days now. It doesn't have a lot new features compared to Firefox 1.5 but it looks way more polished and has a better feel. I can use 99% of my extensions using the Mr. Tech plug-in. Can't wait to see the final release!

  3. Review - Power Mixer

    2.0 Beta (Apr 24, 2006)

    Have just installed the program and been using it for about an hour. It works just fine! After fine-tuning all the settings, though settings like color themes seem unnecessary to me, it integrates perfectly into Windows. The OSD looks great and works easy. And the program has probably a lot features real audiophiles will appriciate. 5 stars for the software itself! But I give it 4 for the price you have to pay after 21 days... I haven't made up my mind whether it's worth it... Still a new essential program on my desktop for the next 21 days!

  4. Review - MediaMonkey

    2.5.3.954 Beta (Apr 18, 2006)

    This program made me switch from Winamp, that I've been using for several years. You've got a zillion ways to sort and find your music, as long as your tags are correct, and even more when you download some extensions/scripts from their website. The program can be tuned very very extensively. Really a must-have for music addicts with a bigger music collection!

  5. Review - Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows XP

    7.0 Beta 2 Preview (Feb 21, 2006)

    At first I was a bit sceptic about the new IE but it suprised me and I catch myself still using it. It has all functions Firefox and some extensions provide in a really slick interface. Tab dragging still has to be integrated but I think they did a really good job there in Redmond. And off course using good ol' IE again I can view every website correctly again. Great leap ahead.
