StreamHarvester works with Shoutcast and Icecast streams. You can record multiple streams simultaneously, also you can relay a stream locally while recording it. So that you can listen to the stream in an external media player like VLC , Windows media player.
StreamHarvester Features:
* Record multiple streams at a time.
* Relay multiple streams on different ports.
* Each job can be recorded and relayed at the same time.

StreamHarvester interface is really very straight forward. Just add the playlist link and click the Record button.

Compare Audio Files to Find Similar or Duplicate MP3
Looking for duplicated MP3 or audio on your computer is not going to be the same by using bitrate comparison tool or by checking the MD5 hash because an audio file can be encoded into many types of format. Even MP3 itself can contain a lot of differences such as different BitRate, Channels or Sample Rate which can make the file size different. Even using a different codec to encode an audio into MP3 will result in a different file size for the same song.
Using BitTorrent and Limewire which can download a lot of free music, overtime we will end up with duplicate songs that waste the hard drive space. One easy way to check for similar or duplicated songs on your computer is by comparing the audio files using Audio Comparer.
Audio Comparer can find similar as well as fully identical audio files. The program algorithm works in such a way that different bitrate and compression format do not affect the comparison accuracy. The program can process audio files in various formats. Audio Comparer will find similar files even if one of them has the MP3 format and the second is a WMA format. The supported audio formats are: MP3, MP2, MP1, WMA, OGG, AIF, WAV. Audio Comparer has a unique technology where it listens to your audio files and compares them by their actual audio content, just like your own human ears do.
All you need to do is install the program, add the audio files and Audio Comparer will do the rest. It will display the similarity in percentage which you can listen from the Audio Comparer and decides whether to delete or move it to another location. Audio Comparer is a shareware that cost $34.95 and it allows you to use it free for 30 days.

If your hard drive makes noises like these and you are still able to access your files – backup immediately. To listen to the sound simply click on the play button. Click on the drive manufacturer next to the sound button to learn more about common problems these drives experience.
Miro Video Converter Easily Converts Video using Phone Devices Presets
Converting video and audio is supposed to be hard with codecs and software to choose but there are many video software converters already made it very simply by selecting or answering a few questions and everything else is automated. Sometimes a user might not know what video size should be set to because too big, the file size takes too much space but if the screen is too small, it would appear with blocks on the video.
One of the easiest way to easily convert a video or audio to your phone is by using Miro Video Converter. We have previously covered Miro that is able to play DVD with twice the maximum sound, they too have a very good video converter. Basically it is able to convert ANY video to MP4, Ogg Theora or a specific phone or iPod.
All you need to do is download Miro Video Converter and install it. Then select the video file and followed by the format or devices presets. For example if you want to view the video in iPhone, then you will select iPhone from the list and Miro Video Conveter automatically determines the best option to convert to.

Increase DVD Movie Playback Volume with Miro Video Player
Laptops are great for portability but when it comes to playing a DVD movie on it, you will most likely experience a very low volume that you can hardly hear what they are talking clearly unless you use a headphone. Even if you turn up the volume in Windows and the Windows Media Player to the maximum volume, it is still not loud enough. One of the best way to solve this problem is to use Miro 3, an amazing open-source, non-profit video player that can boost the volume twice as high.
Other than that, Miro is a really impressive video player that support playing almost any video format. It can create thumbnail for any video that doesn’t have one. Instead of just a video player, Miro is capable of downloading torrents and subscribing to RSS feeds for easier tracking of new medias. This new Miro 3 is much lighter and faster than the previous versions and it supports subtitles.
Do note that only the latest Miro 3 can boost the maximum volume for videos at least twice as high because it is a new feature. Older versions will not have this feature. Miro 3 is compatible with Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.

Disc Jockey or DJ in short would normally need to master their BPM calculating skills before they are allowed on the decks to spin the disc or vinyl. BPM is very important because it determines how fast or slow is a song and this allows them to continue to play another song smoothly without stopping.

Just run the program, click the icon that says import music files at the top left and select all the audio files. It will auto start analyzing the BPM for the songs.
