Thanks Edward, have had a brief look and put a few of them into the list, will have a longer look when I get a chance.

Thanks, will have a look through it, and pick out the best ones...
Well, I suppose we have, but I'm sure there is the odd one waiting to be discovered to get into our list...
Just finishing off going through the list Edward78 posted...
Hi Marc,
Yes, there was actually, can't remember offhand what they are called, but got a number from it...
No we don't have a section for this yet, but what I thought I would do is create a new section called:
"RSS Readers/Podcatchers"
Just for the rss readers and podcatchers.
What do you think?
EDIT: Have just added that new section in the list...

Hi Sparky:
Yes, something along those lines could be done in the future...and were the sections are long, maybe doing a few for each colour, as there is generally more than just one (of each) for each colour...
The sections are laid out in such a way as to cover as many types of utilities as possible, without having lots of individual sections, so finding a decent utility should not be too difficult...

Quite novel...

An alternative to FileHippo's update checker.
Did you ever use the FileHippo updater?
Yeah, use it all the time. Got it installed.
I have just never got round to using this kind of utility, although I'm sure I'll eventually give it a go.
Update Notifier looks pretty good.
Just tried this out and it isn't at all bad.
When it shows updates it takes you to http://cleansofts.org/utorrent.html say for a new build of uTorrent, I was hoping it would direct you to the official site for a program.
It also has a tab where it suggests some alternatives programs to the programs its detected on your PC.
Well, it is always good to have decent alternatives to a program...
That looks good, especially as it has Last.FM integrated into it...
Have you tried it yet?
Non. Reckon I should?
Just had a quick play with it, nice player, but unfortunately it does not appear to do 5:1 audio, as VLC Media Player does, so I think I will just stick with VLC for the time being...if you don't use 5:1 audio with your DVDs, then certainly worth installing I think.

Looks pretty good. Might actually give it a go!
Yep, looks pretty comprehensive...
I have not included K Lite codec pack in the list (under "Video/Audio Codecs" section) because I have always looked upon it as quite inferior to what is already there and not so long ago used to include some real rubbish in its pack, however, I will have another look at it...
couple of free internet radio players with recording functions too.
Screamer Radio

Radio? Sure!
http://www.radiosure.com/
radiosure has 12,000+ stations and the nicest looking interface imo.
both work exactly the same
Thanks...RadioSure! looks good...
