Erm....6 months is kinda a long time so it's not guaranteed you'll find anything of what you're looking for but try PC Inspector File Recovery.... Haven't used it myself yet, but it's free so...meh... |

With regards to AVG, there is a free version that doesn't expire and require you do redownload it periodically. Not as many bells and whistles, but it gets the job done. Also, if you're using EAC, I reccomend using it in conjunction with LAME. It's a command-line based tool that converts .wav files into MP3s. You can set up EAC so that after each track is ripped it calls LAME, passing all the options you selected in the EAC preferences menu (bitrate, ID3 tagging, etc.) and encodes the file on the spot. It's pretty quick and the results are a much higher quality than I've seen from anything else. |

foobar2000 has a nice single file option with a cue sheet that shows where the tracks are if anyone likes that option. Needs a format that supports metadata though. What I'm going for now is WinAmp 5.23 to play files (doesn't do gaps unless they're meant to be there or you tell it to) and probably Express Rip (Came with Switch, a nice program for changing formats) to rip, though EAC looks interesting too. I'm using FLAC for lossless, and when I want to make a lossy copy, I'll most likely use ogg vorbis, though aac/m4a/mp4 seems to be on the way to creating good gapless support. Also interesting is Rockbox, a project to change mp3 players firmware, allowing gapless playback. Might want to add Switch and Rockbox to the Audio utilities list. |

A good web app-thing is FileXT, you just type in any file extension in the search box and it'll tell you what kind of file it is and what program you need to open it. Does anyone know if there are any free video converters? I've got a bunch of DivX I'd like to convert to MPEG-4. Videora converts to MPEG-4, but I cannot remember at the moment if it converts to any other formats. It is easy to use and generally fast. I used it to convert some videos for on my iPod. |
