you should really try this codec pack out:

[Your Favorite Email Program/s?]

personally, i use "The Bat!"

 

http://www.ritlabs.com/the_bat/

 

it's not free though, but it's worth it!

very compact - 2.4Mb installation,

and very powerful

 

also check out "Foxmail"

 

http://fox.foxmail.com.cn/english.htm

 

i haven't used it myself, but it looks

similar to "The Bat!", and is quite popular,

and i believe it's freeware

[audio codec problem - some Divx AVI's play without sound]

Try installing Nimo Codec Pack:

 

http://nimo.everwicked.com

 

During setup unselect everything else, except:

DivX ;-) Audio and Windows Media Audio Codec.

 

This should do the trick, and ususally about any

sort of DivX problems its better to use doom9 forums:

[Streaming Audio Songs]

this particular site uses "real audio" streams,

there are some recorders available:

 

http://mcirecorder.51.net

http://www.highcriteria.com/productfr.htm#prod_TR

 

i'm not sure if you will be able to capture

pure real audio streams from this site,

but you can sure record these streams,

even using default "sound recorder" utility

which comes with Windows, you only need to adjust

you source of recording in your Windows

sound settings

[Best browser enhancements ?]

ads or no ads, as for me, i still prefer opera,

its speed and low resource consumption are really worth it!

[Best browser enhancements ?]

well, besides Opera , there's a damn good front-end for IE,

giving you MDI interface, and other things:

 

http://www.crazybrowser.com

 

And best of all - it's free!

[Best browser enhancements ?]

opera!

[Kazaa]

Yes this will probably happen, as it is a hacked program. So get the "Lite" version before it is banned, at least they won't be able to restrict the use of its P2P newtwok to "Lite" users.

[Kazaa]

there's "Lite" version of KaZaA:

compared to original KaZaA:

 

- No Adware

- No Spyware

- No banners

- No bitratelimit for mp3 files

- No irritating websites loaded into KaZaA

- No BDE Viewer

- No Bonzi Buddy
