ExifToolGUI is a tool for viewing/editing metadata inside a long list of file types including document, audio, video, image, PDF, and more. For images, the program can both view and edit metadata information such as camera/device used, settings on the device, and even map the location the picture was taken if the camera has GPS capability. The program also supports IPTC and XMP tags, has batch capability, and can import/export all tags.

For privacy (and file size), the program can remove all metadata from selected files.

The program is a front-end for the cross-platform ExifTool. It extracts the content of ExifTool.exe to a temp folder under the user's folder, along with thumbs, if enabled.

M3U Dropper creates, imports, and organizes playlist files that take selections from an audio/video collection and put them in an order of your choice. This is useful for example in creating a mix of songs or videos with a specific mood or purpose. As the name suggests, the program creates M3U files which are used in most software players (Winamp, Foobar, Songbird, etc.) and many hardware players (including the iPod). Can also output to and import from other playlist formats including M3U8, PLS, and WPL.

Although other programs can generate playlist files, M3U Dropper uses a more portable method of relative pathways.

Bincsoft Bitrate Calculator, or BBC, is a program that calculates the bitrate to use when encoding a video file to VCD, SVCD, DivX, XviD, DVD and lots of other formats. (Note that it calculates based on a constant bitrate, and does not do the actual video conversion itself.)

Lister creates a file containing attributes of your audio and video files. The program generates an HTML listing alongside an XML file and a XSLT stylesheet (several samples are included).

The program supports MP3, MPEG, AVI, OGG, RealMedia, ASF, Windows Media, Twin-VQ and playlist files (eg. M3U, PLS, B4S). The XML file could be modified or imported into other applications.
