Ogg Drop 1.0b5
License - Freeware
Publisher - No U-Turn Software

.ogg is a free audio format alternative. It features sound quality that is generally higher than MP3, and has no licensing fees. Ogg Drop will encode audio tracks and CD's into.oggs. Ogg Drop is entirely free.
Ogg Drop includes a CDDB lookup of the FreeDB music database. Stick an audio CD into Ogg Drop, and it should be able to identify the songs automatically, and tag the songs for you.
Ogg Drop is an open beta application. We haven't declared it final yet because there are still features being added, but we felt it is stable enough to be available to the public as-is. We'll be moving the next update to the Cocoa platform, which will likely be the first 1.0.

With an iPod, it helps you work out, keeps you company when you drive and drowns out that noisy train ride into the city. Unfortunately, your music library is fragile.

Copies media from an iPod to your computer.

The Perfect Solution and Assistant of Guitar

Posted in MP3 & Audio, Reviews  by Leo

If you are a guitar player or music producer, I’m sure you know the guitar and bass solution called Guitar Rig, which was published by Native Instruments. Yeah, it is an all-inclusive, professional sound equipment for guitar and bass.

The latest version of Guitar Rig is 3.1.1, let us check out some new features in this version.

- An increase of four new amps, so in this version, there are total twelve supreme-sounding guitar and bass amps, the newest amps are Ultrasonic (fit for the heavy metal style), Citrus (simulate the classic Orange amps), Tweed Delight (it simulate the classic Fender’s Tweed Deluxe) and High White (simulate the Hiwatt Dr-103). If you are not a professional producer, maybe you don't know which amp you must to choose, which microphone you must to use and where the best position to record the sound is. All of these problems will be solved in Guitar Rig 3, it has designed a whole system for every amp and contained all the method to pick up the sound, and all you need to do is to adjust the volume and distance. It is very convenient for the guitarist to use it.

- Matched Cabinet: this new feature has a lot of good comments on Native Instruments users’ forum, it provides tried and true classic sounds in seconds. Not only supply the fittest amps, but also supply the two convenient functions to adjust the microphone and spaciousness. Of course, if you are dissatisfied with the feeling of amp, which Guitar Rig supply to you, you can still to adjust them by manual mode. Everything is perfect and easy to control, like the Kirk Hammett of Metallica says "Guitar Rig is a guitar player's dream. Stacks of amps, loads of pedals and multiple mics at the flick of a mouse.”

- New effect: 6 new effects, Tape Echo, Delay Man, Sledge Hammer (it simulate the Marshall-Jackhammer’s distortion effect), Real Wah, Ring Modulator and Custom EQ, so the Guitar Rig 3.1.1 has total 44 effects with high quality, that’s really awesome. During the test, we find the low precision mode in Guitar Rig 3 is same as the high precision mode in guitar Rig 2, so you will feel the noticeable change of the high precision mode’s sound quality in Guitar Rig 3.

When we open the program, you will find the tedious menu in Guitar Rig 2 has been removed and the new interface is so brief and compact, very easy to use.

Compared to other competing audio editor software, the most powerful thing of Guitar Rig is the Non-traditional effects and some tools like Loop Machine and Tape Deck, by the way, the low system usage is also a strongpoint of this software, Guitar Rig 3 to further consolidate these advantages of their own.

Say goodbye to Winamp?

Posted in MP3 & Audio, Reviews  by Leo

As a music lover, I've been using Winamp for a very long time. However, I stumble upon a new music player which called AIMP recently and I think maybe I will say goodbye to Winamp for a while.

Perhaps you have heard about it, but for me, it's the 1st time to use it, so let's check out how about this little but awesome player.

The 1st thing it attracted me that it is not just a music player, it is a collection of music player and audio files converter, so if you want to convert your WMA files to MP3 format, you don’t need to open another software to do it, AIMP already have such a function, it’s very convenient to use. Although it is not a professional conversion tools, but I’m sure the simplest is the best and most suitable for users. By the way, AIMP audio utilities also have some other functions like Sound Recorder, Tag Editor and Audio Library.

For a music player, AIMP has such a nice user interface, it looks like the Winamp skin but you can see the visualization options, Punkie, Xoo, Analog Meter and more, each of them brings the great effect to me especially the Analog Meter, it make the player really like the professional audio equipment. If you are interest in make the player skin, you can try to design, follow the wave of Do It Yourself, I think it will so funny. You can also adjust the EQ of audio files, create playlist and so on, but I think there is no distinction between it and Winamp.

The most important thing I think is the very low memory usage, we can check the screenshot right, when I minimize it to the system tray, you can see the memory usage.
