Making Winamp sound better

Though Winamp has by default a very good mp3 decoder, it lacks many features such as replaygain, resampling, higher bit-depths, etc. Here is where the mpeg123 input plugin by Otachan comes in. This plugin is considered to be the best decoder for mp3 so far. The sound quality is crystal clear. The main plus point is that it supports ReplayGain. ReplayGain is used to make the volume of all audio files equal. I recommend MP3Gain to analyse your MP3 collection. MP3Gain will store the ReplayGain information into the ID3 tag. ...

85% of the Internet Could be Destroyed

The Internet is extremely vulnerable because of the chain of dependencies between the computers that hold different parts of net addresses.

KGB Archiver

KGB Archiver is the compression tool with unbelievable high compression rate. It surpasses even such efficient compression tool like 7zip and UHARC in terms of the abilities. Unfortunately although its powerful compression rate, it has high hardware requirements (I recommend processor with 1,5GHz clock and 256MB of RAM as an essential minimum). One of the advantages of KGB Archiver is also AES-256 encryption which is used to encrypt the archives. This is one of the strongest encryptions known for human. ...
