MusicZen

Very tiny (~600kB) app for beautifully sorting your messy music collection. It can sort music in multiple folders based on Album, Artist, Year, Date, using ID3 tag. I found this app to be very easy to use and perfectly good.

Quxx Player--A good music player as well as organizer..30 Band equalizer gives total control..give it a try..

Can someone recommend a video convertor which has lots and lots of options (not formats)? No specific needs, just looking to experiment with settings.

Try FreeMake Video Converter or Avidemux.

^ Gracias! I was looking for an alternative to Windows Movie Maker just yesterday!! I'll try this one out.

Anyone kknows how to better view your Music library in KM Player? It's currently showing alist of all songs. I want to sort it out by date, artist or something else.

 

[topgear]

I think you need to use some other app for that - use MusicZen suggested by you

^ Gracias! I was looking for an alternative to Windows Movie Maker just yesterday!! I'll try this one out.

you are welcome .. yes, try it out and post a little review/feedback on this. Even I'm eager to use this app but as I'm no video expert I usually don't use such apps but if it works good I'll keep this installed as you never know when you might need it.

It seems you can only sort KMPlayer's playlist with a small options.

*i.minus.com/ihctj1IcA7Ps0.png

But honestly, I don't think KMPlayer suits music, rather just videos, and for which it's a great player. For music you are better suited to better alternative like, MediaMonkey or Winamp.

And about that open source video editor, "ShotCut", I am glad to encounter an open source video editor that seems is capable to take the fight against big guns.
As for its functionality is concerned I think it's clear from this roadmap they published:

Roadmap
player with trimming
encoding
MLT playlist creation and loading
melted server control
GPU acceleration
filters (March, 2013)
FireWire/Linux input (2013)
DirectShow/WIndows input (2013)
multitrack (2013)
transitions (2013)
live switcher/mixer/set features (2014)

Source: *www.shotcut.org/bin/view/Shotcut/Roadmap

I think, latest release also has filters. But its a long way till ShotCut can compete big editors, since it still has to incorporate basic stuff like Multi track and Transitions. But it seems its on a right track!

But I kind of liked the available audio engines, especially the Dolby Pro Logic 2. It sounded better than WMP and Zune.

Can anyone tell me how to update android antivirus application (avast) installed on mobile which does not have net access?

 

[Vyom]

If you ask me, I think antivirus on Android is just an extra overhead.
Plus if mobile is not connected to internet chances of it getting infected is next to nil.
But one possible way to update it I think by downloading the latest apk from net and using that to reinstall.

Yes I know if mobile is not connected to internet we can't get virus but I use to download applications to PC for installation on mobile so antivirus is necessary.

RAMDisk creates a virtual RAM drive, or block of memory, which your computer treats as if it were a disk drive. By storing files and programs into memory, you can speed up internet load times and disk-to-disk activities, accelerate databases and reduce compile times. Save and load features allow RAMDisk to appear as persistent storage, even through reboots.
