   Review - RightNote

   1.4.3 (Aug 19, 2011)

   This tool is a labor of love. If you like oneNote, but fear being locked in its proprietary format, rightnote is the best replacement. Portable. Live search is excellent. It can have different note types, spreadsheets and code. The author is very responsive and releases new versions fast. Probably the best notetaker.

   This is a small wonder. I'm switching from vim to this after > 10 years on vim; if that's not a compliment, I don't know what is.
   The search highlight feature is indispensable. Configuring custom highlighting for any programming language is easy. With the project plugin and autocomplete, it does almost as much as an IDE for 1/10th of the memory. And it's the (only) viable option to operate with large files.

   Well, feature-wise it's obviously not at the level of Mediamonkey (MM) or Winamp (i.e., currently it has no library, no last.fm support etc). But, for some reason I cannot fathom, it sounds better to ME. It's also very light in memory usage, and keyboard-friendly; that's all I need for now. I drag form MM library to this, then close MM because I cannot afford the memory it takes.
   
   Great program. We should all be proud that things like this get written.
   PS: I'd really like to know what it does to make it sound better than others!

   Review - AIMP

   2.5 Build 304 RC4 (Oct 11, 2008)

   won't load my collection.
   I have ID3.2 v2 tags only, the simplest and most compatible format. However, loading the files into the library makes the progress bar freeze. I removed the offenders, but AIMP promptly froze again. What a pity, since it seems very promising.

   Review - MediaMonkey

   3.0.2.1134 RC3 (Feb 3, 2008)

   This must be one of the worst programmed applications out there, by far.
   The number of bugs is incredible!
   
   Great community, and great design decisions, but horrible implementation.
   
   Last.fm support is broken.
   You will see errors popping up that no end user should ever see. Just use it.
   
   Importing my library (that works fine in any other player I tried) I got hundred of popups with errors that you have to dissmiss manually (i.e., no 'ignore all' button.
