Here's a software that you can use to compress your music files by up to ... well i'm bad at percentages... LOL but here's a before and after so you can see how much a particular music file got compressed.

After:

As you can see, the file has been compressed by quite a lot. My friend told me that it was compressed by 262%... but I'm not sure if that's true O.o

This software has a 21-day free trial and you can use it to convert your music files or digitally rip your CDs. When you convert your music, it also keeps all your music tags so you don't have to rename them all. Meaning, the titles, artists, albums are all kept when you convert them. By using this software, i have 924 songs that used 2.4gb on my iPod which is such a big deal for me because i have a 4gb iPod.... hahaha XP guess it was worth getting a 4gb iPod XD

You can buy it at dBpoweramp for $38 which is a good investment because your music collection isn't going to shrink. It's going to grow so you can save your money with your current music player rather than deciding to buy the latest music player with more gb so you can store your new music on it. ^_^

DVDVideoSoft

Here's a software that you can download called DVDVideoSoft that you can use for many things.

You can:

-Download/Upload Youtube videos

-Convert videos

-Burn DVDs

-Edit videos/audio

-etc.

Downloading Youtube Videos

This I would have to say is the most useful part of this software. I'm not sure why it has the Youtube uploader feature since you can just upload it directly on youtube itself...

When you download Youtube videos, you can choose what kind of format you want it to be. You can download it as a normal .avi .mp4 .flv or you can download it directly to .mp3 .wav format or even burn it to an audio CD from there.

You can download it into a format for your iPod, iPhone, Blackberry, Apple TV, PSP and lots more. Basically anything you want. The latest version features a Facebook uploader as well.

Converting Videos/Mobiles

Here you can convert your videos already on your computer into many different formats. DVD, flash, .mp3, .jpg. You can also flip & rotate or even make a 3d video but it requires the use of 3d glasses. You can also convert it to audio format.

You can also convert your videos for your mobile devices such as Android, Apple TV, Blackberry, HTC, iPad, Nintendo & more. Even Xbox.

MP3 & Audio

Audio converters, Audio to flash although i'm not quite sure how that works... you can dub audio and there are also some icons which come from other categories like youtube videos and converting videos.

DVD Burner

This is quite self explanatory. Get your videos or audios off your CD or burn them onto a CD

Photos & Images

Convert your images and resize them or get a screenshot from a video. You can even make a 3d photo with the 3d photo maker although you'll need 3d glasses to see the end result. There's also a screen video recorder so you can record whatever you want to show on your screen instead of using a camera to record which isn't as good.

The best way to find out about it's features is to go to DVDVideoSoft and download the software and have a play with it. The whole software's only 60mb.
