I use Songbird – it is my favorite in music players with all it’s features/add-ons (radio steamers as one example). I like it’s look and it simply ”feels right”. I even dedicated a post to it so it’s unfortunate that I find Songbird be a bit too unacceptably slow.
I decided to do a search on Open Source Music Player and after giving quite a few other music players a chance to enthrall me I am giving the best candidate i could find one week to get me hooked.
The lucky winner is Media Monkey. Music manager and Media Jukebox for large collections developed by Ventis Media Inc for organizing and playing audio on Microsoft Windows operating systems. Available in a free version as well as a paid one, called Gold licence. Skinnable, with extension scripts and plug-ins.
I wouldn’t mind Amarok, not at all. I use Windows and isn’t going to switch (back) to Linux over music players so I’ll keep my eyes open for a Windows version.
I’m not ruling out the possibility that there is a way to make (my beloved xD ) Songbird speed up. Songbird is perfection <3. Ha!
I find Speccy to be a very useful software for technical support and upgrade or repair of system. Speccy recieves my personal approval 
Speccy is an andvanced system information product from Piriform, a privatley owned US software house (Piriforms CCleaner is a hugely popular freeware tool) offering Windows users (win 95 – win 7) free applications.
Speccy can be very useful not only for power users but normal users as well to help in everyday computing life as it will give you detailed statistics of your hardware. Including CPU, Motherboard, RAM, Graphics Cards, Hard Disks, Optical Drivers and Audio support.
Mobile broadband can be slow. For anyone with mobile broadband who also is frequently using the social network Facebook – Fishbowl can be a good alternative to web browsers.
I have installed Fishbowl on my laptop, a good solution for me.
I recently received an .xls file through an e-mail from a relative. It is a Microsoft Excel (spreadsheet program used for calculation, graphing, pivot tables and a macro programming) file.
I don’t have Microsoft Office installed and I don’t want it either. It appear to be a feature rich program but I have everything I need at the moment.
So how do I read the file my relative sent to me? Even though I don’t have Microsoft Office, I can still open the Excel file by downloading Microsoft’s free Excel Viewer (DL link) over at Microsoft’s Download Center. Excel Viewer handles opening, viewing and printing of Excel workbooks, even if you don’t have Microsoft Office installed.
