Itunes Clone for Droid

Motorola Media Link



http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/US-EN/Consumer-Product-and-Services/Software/Motorola-Media-Link-US-EN

Motorola Media Link is a free PC software download that connects your Motorola Android phone to your PC. Easily transfer, sync, manage, back up, and share your phone's content. A variety of other valuable tools is included.

Moving files from the PC to the droid is as simple as copy and paste. This tool creates a great way to manage this flow with a visual interface. We tend to load up the camera with pictures that could get lost or deleted easily. This kind of development is expected from a company as big as Motorola if they want to give the customer the type of user experience that can compete with the IPHONE.

Bells and Wistles, How about KNOBS and more KNOBS

I love knobs, big knobs, little knobs, knobs of all shapes and sizes. Who can resist? Maybe you can't twist, push, or pull on these knobs but they can be fun none the less and there are lots of them.

As use may have noticed WavePad has a mixer plugin feature for an extra $49.
You can effectively mix audio tracks in many movie editing applications. Here is a easier way to master digital audio. Worst case you can record a song for your special someone and mix in the band. This could be a great way to mix up podcasts as well. Many times live feeds have variable audio levels when you have remote guests. If you record each as a separate track you can mix it later and get professional results.

WavePad is a serious audio editor for people not so serious about spending money. They offer a pro version designed for professional use, imagine that.

I use to copy my audio books on tape to CD using Nero Wave editor. The process is quite simple and the editing features allows you to run multiple streams together or create page breaks for easier navigation. WavePad is a few branches higher in the geek tree compared to NERO. Its also free where the NERO wave editor can cost extra depending on the version you have.

One nice feature is being able to modify the volume to be able to hear weak or poor recordings.

WavePad sound editing software includes a recorder that supports autotrim and voice activated recording. Tools include spectral analysis (FFT), tone generation and speech synthesis. WavePad’s easy to use interface will get you started running. Player includes Scrub/Cue control for precise editing.

Free Music CD Ripper Converter - Protect that investment

Music CDs aren't cheap. I dont buy recording industry music anymore but I have quite a collection. The CDs are getting old and I want to protect that investment so here is a free way to do it.

http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm

They sell a MP3 conversion and offer a 30 day free trial. I simply use the .wav (Wave) format since its lossless and is universial. Not to mention this program rips CDs in about 1 minute to a wave format. Hard drive space is cheaper these days and I recommend making a DVD backup of all your files.

This program looks up your titles and creates a folder for you that matches a internet database of songs.

Like all of these great companies they are in business to make money. If you like this free product take a look at what they have for sale.
