Great Software everyone should have!

So I use my computer a lot and I want to share some of the programs that keep me entertained.

Last.fm

Is the best music program that I have ever seen. What it does is take note of the music that you play in itunes and it creates a profile for you and gives you all kinds of stats about the music that you listen to. That is not all however as this program does way more than that, the main purpose of last.fm is that it is an internet radio player. In the program you can tell it to play virtually whatever music that you want to play, wanna listen to a band, just type it in on the front of the player. The most exciting thing about last. though is that it can tell what you like and when you just generally hit the play button without specifying what you want to listen to, it just plays music that it thinks you will like, and it really does play music that you are gonna like. While all this is going on you tell it whether you like the tracks that it is playing for you and it gets closer to what you like by that. As you listen it just keeps getting better and better.

Democracy Player

this one is pretty simple, it is a program that downloads video podcasts and stuff like that for you. just tell it the shows that you like and it downloads them for you to watch. It also systematically cleans out your podcasts so that you don't run out of room on your hard drive. Plays all other videos too and supports most file formats.

CDdisplay

This program reads .cbr files which are what you get when you download comic books and stuff like that on the internet. If you are into digital comics, this is definitely the program to view them with.


Here are the links where to get the programs, They will run on both mac and pc
