all those docks and innovative little toolbars really pale in comparison to the practicality and functionality of Launchy. I hardly ever have to open C:\ folders or other drives when i want to look for movies, songs, whatever, just type it into launchy it will show you the way. Having plugin support pretty much puts it on top for good as long as it is kept updated consistently.

Wow, @lhdal, I don't know where you've been, but minilyrics DOES support double timestamps, and the syncing is really easy, I hope you've been using the sync button for each line rather than using a stopwatch to write down the times. Minilyrics is awesome, especially when I want to look up those hard-to-find chinese lyrics

omg....a reason for voting this low and uninstalling it was 'cuz they promoted firefox and google? where do u work man? microsoft or yahoo, cmon now, just tell everyone right now. even if u don't like firefox and google, it would be an ad hominem to rule this product out just cuz of that

I've used this program since 1999 or 2000. I was reading the comments on fileforum all the way back to 2002. I saw quite a few references from reviewers to other graphic viewers that I've never heard of except for ACDSee. It is true that I haven't used that many (as i discovered) viewers before, but that said, IrfanView has never made me feel the urge to look for anything else. It has all the practical functions I need for a viewer and oddly enough, I really like the plugin for the mp3 player. I do use winamp, but loading up winamp each time i want to listen to one single mp3 just takes too long, even wmp takes too long for me. IrfanView just pops up the second I click it. Obviously listening to music in general I use winamp, but IrfanView makes it a whole lot easier and quicker to just check out what that one single wav or mp3 sounds like. I can't (am not qualified to) counter any of the negative comments, but I can definitely backup the positive ones (and there are a whole lot of them!).

I've used it since it was still affiliated with kazaa lite. This is by far the best codec pack out there, but you gotta love those ppl who bash on a software they haven't even tried on a misguided crusade to save their poor fellow "laymen". Just classic...The reason ppl make codec packs are so ppl DON'T have to download individual codecs. And for this codec to achieve that purpose, I don't understand why ppl are bitter about that. If you have a specific problem, list it and justify it in a review, don't bash on it cuz you've used Nemo Codec Pack (or something) and got pwned.
