Welcome to another episode of the Freeware Mission. I’m going to choose the best free audio CD ripper, because I need my music to be “portable”, take it from my CDs to my MP3 player. Another reason is that mostly I listen to music on my PC rather than my CD player, so it’s more comfortable to have the songs on my hard disk. And the best free audio CD ripping program is…
 

Well, the choice was a little bit difficult. There were two freeware programs that grabbed my attention: CDex …

The hot month of July is now officially over. It was the best month for this blog so far, the sixth month of its existence. I’ll give you some quick statistics about the traffic and the income it has seen in July.
 
The traffic was by far the best so far, 4631 unique visitors, about 150 unique visitors daily. That was my goal for July, the next goal will be to have 175 visitors per day in August. A fellow blogger asked me to tell him “the secret” of this traffic …

The Freeware Mission continues towards the goal: a freeware only PC! Now I need to find a good, the best free download manager. There are several options available and I’ve tested many of them. The result? I will not go with the most popular program, FlashGet. I chose another freeware program which I believe is better. Wanna guess which one it is?
 

It’s Orbit Downloader! The first thing that I liked about it is that it’s simple if you want too keep it simple but can offer various advanced options too. …

The Freeware Mission continues, prouder than ever. My computer is running smoothly with only freeware programs installed. Actually it wants more! Today I’m going to give it the best free RSS reader. There are many of them but only one will be my pick.
 

After a lot of testing only two free RSS readers remained in my attention: RSS Bandit and FeedDemon. I must say that both are very good freeware programs, but the better of the two for me is… FeedDemon. And I’ll tell you want convinced me: it’s fast, …

I’m very enthusiastic about the Freeware Mission and the way it’s going so far (it’s not over yet, stay tuned for more!). But I’d like to take this moment to thank the people that supported the mission: Cliff, from the very beginning, and Aimey, a proud young American mommy. Thank you again! Anybody wanting to join the list? Drop me an e-mail or a comment, I’ll be happy to tell you about the Freeware Mission.
And I would also thank all the nice people that shared their opinions with us on …

I told you, the Freeware Mission won’t stop. There are dozens of great freeware programs that I will install in my computer and I will succeed in using it with only freeware programs installed. Of course, except Windows XP. Speaking of XP, I need a program that would allow me to tweak some of the settings. I guess you all know the name of that program It’s…
 

… Tweak UI. There’s nothing better at that job. Tweak UI gives you the possibility to play around with system settings that …

As you might have noted from yesterday’s sponsored post, I signed up for SocialSpark.com. You might wonder what that is. Well, firstly it’s a very well designed website, I’ll tell you that. I loved the layout and the functionality the second I entered. And secondly it’s a great opportunity for both bloggers and advertisers.
I signed up for both, I’m a blogger and an advertiser at the same time. As a blogger I have the opportunity to review websites or products and I’ll receive some money in exchange. As an advertiser …

Yep, the Freeware Mission continues. I did some thinking today and a quick inventory of the programs that I still need for my computer, and it turns out that the Freeware Mission will have at least another 25 episodes! I’m quite happy about it so far, and I’m looking forward to discovery new interesting freeware programs. Now it’s time to pick a free DVD Authoring Tool, I need one for making DVD-Video out of some of the 2500 films in my collection (those that are stored as mpeg files).
 

So, I …

uTorrent, recently picked here as the Best Free BitTorrent Client is still keeping us waiting for the final v1.8 release. The sixth release candidate was made public, with only two fixes:
- Fix: loading of skins (enabled and disabled images, flags)
- Fix: crash with Change Location dialog when adding torrents
Well, that makes me hope that the next release will be the real thing!
