Siren Jukebox XPress1.5a

A blast from the past, Sonics Foundry's excellent Media player was designed for the perfectionist! This media player was very advanced for it's time and sported dual eye-candy displays- rare even in today's players. The quality of the visualizations alone is enough reason to try this player, they are amazingly stunning - maybe prettier than anything you've ever seen before!

With an ultra-customizable GUI with 16-band EQ, efficient media manager with play lists, awesome 'eye-candy' (unmatched even by most players today), and ability to minimize to the System tray (with one-click mute and playback controls) make this a winner!

Plays all bit-rates (CBR/VBR) MP3, WMA, and WAV formats, but MP3s ripped at Extreme VBR (320kbps) report 128kbps in tickler.

Exact Audio Copy

Exact Audio Copy is a high-end audio grabber for CD-ROM drives, reading audio CDs almost perfectly. If there are any errors that can't be corrected, it will tell you the time position the (possible) distortion occurred, so you can easily control it with e.g. the media player.

With other audio grabbers you usually need to listen to every grabbed wave because they only do jitter correction. Scratched CDs read on CD-ROM drives often produce distortions. But listening to every extracted audio track is a waste of time. Exact Audio Copy conquers these problems by making use of several technologies like multi-reading with verify and AccurateRip.

Slide Show Movie Maker

From author's site:

Slide Show Movie Maker is a free program that can create an AVI-file from a series of .bmp or .jpg images. Images can have professional-looking fade-in and fade-out effects, plus attractive text overlays.

The program's clean-looking interface is logically laid out; you should become productive within just a few minutes of running it. Keep in mind that .avi files can become quite large and take a long time to render. However, Slide Show Maker lets you choose to save output using any one of your system's installed .avi codecs, so the file size and generation time will vary depending upon which one you choose.
