Movie Label 2008, by Code|Aero is a perfect solution for anyone who has a lot of movies and would actually like to be able to find them. What I really like about this product is that your movies can be in a wide range of formats. That means you can catalog DVDs, VHS, and movies on your hard drive. That's important because more and more you can download movies from a number of sources. In many cases you aren't allowed to burn them to DVD so they have to stay on your computer. Movie Label 2008 makes it easy to quickly find exactly where a particular movie is. You can even print out reports with information about your collection. In testing it out I found it to be easy-to-use and intuitive, perfect for users will all levels of experience. One feature I really like is the ability to keep track of loans. That's right, the program lets you keep track of who you loaned a movie to so you can ask for it back. Slick. The program also makes it really easy to search through your collection, no matter how big it is, and find what you're looking for. There's also a handy sort feature and you can sort your movies in a variety of ways. Also, just as with music, information about movies is downloaded from a database online so you don't have to enter everything manually. You can also have more than one collection which is nice for dealing with multiple people or just breaking your collection down into parts. Movie Label 2008 is one of those programs that's easy-to-use, but has a lot of power under the hood. So, if you have a lot of movies and you'd really like to get a handle on them, take a good look at Movie Label 2008. I recommend it.

• Download Ashampoo Media Player+ NOW!

Ashampoo Media Player+, by Ashampoo GmbH is a FREE media player that will do everything you need it to do, and more. The program is easy-to-use, intuitive, and has a great "look" to it. It can handle a full range of audio and video files including WAV, MP3, MOD, Ogg, AVI, MP1, and more. The program can also utilize plugins which make it even more flexible. Ashampoo Media Player+ makes it easy to burn music files to CD. In testing it out I created playlists and then could transfer those to CD with just a couple of mouse clicks. Really pretty slick. Another cool feature that I really liked is the ability to adjust the volume of each file, individually. I hate it when one song is too loud and then the next song is too quiet. Working with Ashampoo Media Player I was able to create a playlist, then adjust the volume level of each song so I had a playlist that had pretty much equal volume on all tracks. Burned a CD, played it in my car, and it was perfect! The program also utilizes dynamic playlists which means your playlists display the contents of actual folders on your computer. When you change the contents of the folder, the contents of the playlist change as well. That means less work. I found Ashampoo Media Player+ to be loaded with cool features and you can't beat the fact that it's free! Looking for an alternative music player? This might be your solution!
