Quicktime
Player
An
alternative to Real Player. Some web
sites use QuickTime for their streaming
audio and video. Just as impressive
as Real Player, but unfortunately
you need them both for viewing the
different file types.
Real
Player
Certain
Internet pages utilise 'streaming'
audio and video. You listen or view
in 'almost' real time. Real Player
allows you to view these files, and
keeps you up to date on topics from
the Real Player web site.
tucows.com
One
of the fastest growing software search
engines. Very well laid out, with
sections for all the operating systems,
including Windows 95, 98, CE, NT,
2000 & XP.
Winamp
Probably
the best MP3 player available on the
Internet. Also doubles by replacing
your Windows CD player, and provides
you with a few extra options.
Media
Player
Another
player like Real Player or QuickTime.
Just as good, with some excellent
features. Allows you to surf the Internet
and listen to the radio live on your
PC at the same time!!!
Winzip
WinZip has been around for ages, and
is the best zip program currently
available. Enables you to compress
large files when sending by e-mail
to reduce transmission time and telephone
costs.
