For Fun Software

Tuesday, February 20, 2007

 

Photos, music and IM
Even if you've purchased your computer primarily for work, you'll probably still want a few programs that are a bit more, well, fun. Download.com contains so many entertaining programs that you may never be productive again. We could suggest tons of games and screensavers, but we've kept the focus on essential media and communication tools.

FastStone Image Viewer
You can indeed view pictures with FastStone Image Viewer, but you also can do much more. For starters, you can convert and rename images in batches, and FastStone also provides a decent set of editing tools. There's a lot to like here, and nothing to pay. Download now

iTunes
Sure, you need iTunes to patronise Apple's online music store, but there's more to this jukebox. If you've never used the program, check out our iTunes Advanced feature, which provides basic tips as well as advice for veteran users. Download now

Quintessential Player
Other players get more attention, but it's hard to beat Quintessential Player's efficiency, stability, and flexibility. Built to support almost any plug-in format, this freeware tool offers a fine video player, CD ripping and MP3 converting. Download now

CDBurnerXP Pro
Don't let this free product's name fool you -- CDBurnerXP Pro does more than you think on more platforms. Not only does it burn CDs, it also lets you write to DVDs, create ISO files, rip audio CDs, and print simple covers. It runs on Windows 98, Me and 2000, in addition to XP.

Trillian

Skype
Place free PC-to-PC voice calls around the world via VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology. You'll need to pay to call a landline or cellular phones, but this is one technology that's on its way up. Download now
