My Findings- Useful or Not Pt. 4


Question

My first finding was a program called Player (2.0). It is a CDDB enabled freeware CD player. Features include support for multiple CD-ROM drives, full system tray functionality, cover artwork display, a timer playback/screen saver feature, Gracenote CDDB support for disc information retrieval/submission, CD ripping and encoding to Ogg Vorbis & Windows Media Audio formats. Version 2.0 introduces an optional system keyboard hook, allowing background control of the program via the function keys."

The easy access from the system tray is one of its great features.

I found it here: http://download.com.com/3000-2139-10118995...tml?tag=lst-2-2

Also while messing with the player, i noticed you can view album covers with it, and i stumpled upon a site where u can download cd covers. Go here to download covers, if you decide to download player 2.0. Here is where i found the album covers

http://www.cdcovers.cc/

My second finding may be known by some people on this forum. But its added by a program helping everyone that likes to get to urls and application simple and fast like me.

First drag the run button from the start menu and drop it on your desktop. Second i downloaded a program called Runlink. it says it

is only for 95/98 and ME systems but it works on xp.

RunLink is a program that allows you to create shortcuts accesable from the Run menu (Start: Run). For example, if you commonly open ?C:/Program Files/Games/StarCraft/starcraft.exe?, but don't like switching bewteen a mouse and keyboard, you could create the RunLink 'sc' to link to it. Why would I want to use it? Its easier than switching between a mouse and a keyboard all the time, and it can be faster; when you're typing and you want to open your mp3s, just hit (Windows Key + R) and type 'mp3' to launch your favorite mp3 player.?

Runlink can be found here: http://download.com.com/3000-2084-10121259...tml?tag=lst-0-1

Just add you aliases in runlink; ex: for winamp, i put "w". So now from run on my desktop, i put in w and winamp starts.

It is a fast and simple way to get to programs and also urls. For example, i put in neo in run and it goes to www.neowin.net.

My findings useful or not?

I hope my findings are as useful to yall as they are to me.

Tell me what yall think.
