   Review - Ashampoo Media Player+

   2.0 Beta (Oct 14, 2003)

   Good sound quality, supports many formats, has decent skins. I don't like ads in a media player though, there's no reason to deal with this when you could be using Winamp. This is more like begware than freeware. Also, the constant alert box popups are very annoying. There's nothing positive to set this media player apart from the multitude of other, ad-free ones out there.

   Review - Thundertray

   0.7.5 Beta (Oct 12, 2003)

   Glad to see a program like this released. Email clients that don't minimize to the sys tray have always irritated me, which is why Outlook Express, Mozilla Mail, and Thunderbird never lasted long with me. I've found TheBat though, and I'm going to stick with it. Still, it's nice to see Thunderbird becoming more functional, although this feature really should be standard in the mail client itsself.

   Review - Pidgin for Windows

   0.71 (Oct 10, 2003)

   This is a very nice application. I'm using it right now. I had been using the original applications and Trillian Pro. I'm really impressed at how far this program has come. Don't let the BetaNews screen shot fool you as it's terribly outdated. This latest version has a wonderful-looking GUI.

   Review - Napster

   2.0.4.0 (Oct 10, 2003)

   Wow, that's a lot of money for an mp3 album. I's rather just order it from an online store that doesn't charge shipping. Only a few dollars more and you get packaging and CD-quality sound. SoulSeek and DC++ are great, free sources for 192kbps audio. Napster is for the lowest common denominator though, so it probably will do well. Irrelevant to me though, as I see that it's not a great deal.

   Review - Real Alternative Regular

   1.23 (Oct 1, 2003)

   Real Alt. has worked like a charm for the past several versions. Though I find the QT version to be more useful, as I don't come across a significant amount of Real content that interests me.
