Audials One 2017 for $19

Audials has released the latest version of Audials One and it can be had for a 50% discount with a price of $19. Audials One is the combination app that lets you capture music, video and your screen. In addition, it features the ability to listen to Internet Radio from all over the world. Also, there is a converter tool that works with both video and audio files. And finally, it features a music search and music wishlist function. Put in the name of an artist or album, and Audials will go searching for it. All in all, it’s quite impressive. The 2017 edition will be my fourth upgrade. I use Audials One to record streaming music, to extract the audio from video files and have recorded a few shows with the streaming capture feature. It’s music and video management is quite good, comparable to MediaMonkey, although it’s not as adept at generating thumbnails for video files. If you listen […]

Ember – An RPG that pays tribute to games like Ultima and Diablo

They say time is relative to the developer. And it was about a year ago when I first read news of new RPG being created that would be heavily influence by Ultima and Diablo. Oddly, it was intended to be a mobile game and available at the end of 2015. Well, that kinda, sorta, never really happened. Instead, the game was built for the desktop and it now available on Steam. However, it does an impressive job of keeping a price of a mobile game and is $9.99. And this is not some Flash based game, this rascal is a hefty 4GB download. I hadn’t been tracking the release, so it coming to Steam was a complete surprise. Nevertheless, I immediately bought a copy. And after playing for a few hours, it’s an impressive game that does play like an Ultima from the days of old. In typical style, I looted crypts and rifled through the pockets on my slain […]

WinZip 20.5 for $10

Although I have a copy of WinZip, I haven’t been diligent in keeping it up to date. I mean, has the zip/unzip process really changed that much? And if I do find myself in some sort of bind, 7Zip has been there to sort things out. winZip has actually been preinstalled on a couple of machine and it works find so why go chasing the latest edition? However, I just got an email with a pretty sweet offer, an Upgrade to WinZip 20.5 for a mere $10. I would have to say that’s a good deal. And this is the Pro version, which has a few more bells and whistles than the Standard, but I doubt I will notice a difference and the link is for the Pro edition, so no real choice there. This is a great price for WinZip, which has a history of being a decent compression tool. The regular price was a bit steep at $30 for […]

RightNote on Sale for 50% Discount

I’ve written about RightNote before and how it’s replaced OneNote. It’s a great tool for taking down notes, but it has a whole slew of features that make it far more than simple note writing tool. It’s a full featured Editor with enough formatting features to satisfy most people. You don’t need the bulk and expense of Microsoft Word, when all you want to do is write, not format. RightNote offers a very nice hierarchy view of your documents, so you can have multiple documents open at the same time and jump straight to the one you want. If you’re working with longer or multi-part documents, this is far better than the Word approach. RightNote also has Spreadsheet functionality built in. You can make a standard spreadsheet and put in basic calculations. It might not be sophisticated enough for the boardroom, but considering most of us make simple budgets or ledgers, it’s handle the job without issue. RightNote supports multiple […]

But wait, AnyDVD rises from the ashes as Redfox

Even though Slysoft shut it’s doors, I wanted to get the final version of each of their products. But what to my surprise when I found there was Redfox.bz, a rebranding of AnyDVD and perhaps a complete resurrection of the product. According to Neowin, Redfox has a new version of AnyDVD that connects to the Online Protection Database which is part of the mojo that makes AnyDVD work so well. Who knows if this is the real deal and how long it will stick around, but the forums are back up and running. You can’t buy new copies of AnyDVD, but if you have a valid license key, you can install and use the most recent update. You can go to the download page and see the following changelog: 7.6.9.1 2016 03 01 AnyDVD reborn! SlySoft is dead, long live RedFox! This is an intermediate release, so old customers can continue to use their existing AnyDVD license to watch their […]
