Only notice webfork's comment today. Used Universal Extractor 2 https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=2764 to extract to a new folder and ran vv.exe. Still unable to get portable version to run, even as administrator.

The portable ZIP did not work, but the extracted installer files worked fine for me without running as admin.

Google reports this as a potentially hacked website. For now, I'd avoid this

Nice software. The only downside is they made it stupidly complicated to sync. And, as of this instant, I haven't figured out to have it sync automatically. Who wants to have to remember to sync????

smaragdus on 2017-01-04 08:36

When called from tray, "Notes Manager" took about 10 seconds to show up, this is awkward and frustrating. Overall the program does not behave well on Windows 8 x64.

This doesn't seem quite ready for prime time yet. The website claims you can change font colors - a good idea, since the default color on my XP machine is dark grey on black. But there doesn't seem to be any way to do this from the menu, and no documentation to help with that.

The mind mapper comes up when I press F7 ... but there are invisilbe icons at the top of the screen (they highlight, but nothing happens.) The 6th icon on that list comes up with an error message: parse error 1,1.

Finally, there's no apparent way to turn off the TRULY annoying typewriter sound with each keypress.

Looking forward to seeing it when it's polished up.

Additional note: the program appears to freeze when asked to scan directories with more than around 100 gigs of music.

I was one of the many people begging for Songbird Portable back when it was just a "hatchling". I believe it took 1-2 years before an official portable version was made -- by that time Foobar2000 became my inseparable best mate. Sure Songbird is the new kid on the block and Speed, memory and no itunes support will probably be it's Achilles heal, but it has a lot of potential through add-ons and it's web support.

As I dislike PA.com launchers myself, I went looking around for alternatives and found SongChick (for more info, see http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=60297#p60297).

Opps, my error. Didn't notice the response by @User that the problem was fixed as of V3.01.

Ancient Images on 2011-03-16 09:48

This and LameXP are my current favorite MP3 encoders.

lamedropXPd is nice to quickly encode a .wav to .mp3. You can also drop an .mp3 onto the program, and it'll transcode it to a .wav, which I thought was pretty clever. Simple tagging and encoding options are nice. Basically, if you find yourself routinely encoding in the same format--say if you run a podcast and frequently save shows at a certain bit rate--this is a fine solution for people who don't want to get bogged down in a lot of fancy details.

Simple Duplicate Finder v1.2.0.3

webfork on 13 Jan 2019
  • 117KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 1 Dec 2011
  • Suggested by ancientimages

Simple Duplicate Finder helps track down similar files either to delete extras and save space or to compare versions. While most duplicate-searching programs are looking for exact copies, SDF uses a Percentage Search, allowing you to adjust the percentage difference required for a file to be considered a duplicate. Once scanned, the program will display the number of bytes which differ as well as the specific percentage match between files.

This is useful for example with metadata: when Windows Image Import tool downloads pictures from your digital camera, additional XML data is inserted into the images and video files, including a timestamp of when the image was downloaded to the computer. Although the image is identical in every way to its original, the file will appear as unique. SDF can detect these files and help remove them.

Note: main site appears to be down, switched to archive.org

Simple Duplicate Finder v1.2.0.3 - link date 20-FEB-2012
Just re-discovered this antediluvian gem of a dups finder...;-)

What's not to like ?

• Terse, elegant, skillfully crafted GUI
• Option for similitude percentage match
• Filter for file extension
• Duplicate entries results neatly listed as offset to the stem file
• Stunningly fast execution (files CRC used as match criteria)
• Tiny footprint (117KB exe)
   Leanest of TPFC's "Duplicate Checkers" current 11 entries

Oldie, but goodie...Recommended.

M3U Dropper v0.741

billon on 14 Oct 2016
  • 532KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 6 Oct 2012
  • Suggested by flector

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.

  • When config (*.m3udrop) files are saved to the same drive as M3U Dropper.exe, all references to the file are relative.
