The microphone on my headset isn't working so I'll do as much as I can using this on-screen keyboard. Dean, have you rooted your Galaxy S? I just did and it's really easy. I'm good to apply the lag fix by Voodoo, which will make it twice as fast as a Droid X -> watch this . My "must have" productivity apps are- - a Trackdog - updates your apps. - a Trackdog SD - updates your apps on the SD card. which IS where you should store your apps. - Barcode Scanner - Shopsavvy - Battery Indicator - WaveSecure - Astro File Manager - Flash Player 10 - WiFi Analyzer - Quick Settings - 3G WatchDog - Apps Installer - Where A great site to download apps as the .apk file to install on the SD card is 4shared . Just make sure you update them as most are old. A couple fun apps- - Scanner Radio - Gmote There's an app I read about that was supposedly better than Shazam, but I don't remember what it's called. Hope that's helpful. I'll have more to come I'm sure. PS. Remember to ALWAYS store apps on the root directory of the SD card whenever possible. Cheers, Cam

Thanks Cam, somehow I missed seeing your post earlier.
No I have not rooted my phone yet but would consider it if there was something I really wanted to run that required it. I’m always a little hesitant to use supper user privileges if I don’t absolutely need to. Back in 88 I reformatted the hard drive on a wang word processor in the Embassy in New Zealand I was using in DOS mode to write computer programs for a game called “Traveler.” I meant to format a floppy but it was late at night and I typed the wrong drive letter. Luckily we ran weekly backups and didn’t do much work on it so restoring everything wasn’t to bad. Lesson learned, I never login as super user unless I have to. Even then I usually use the “su” command instead.

iPeng If you own a Squeezebox, you will love this little Penguin like your firstborn. I like squeezeCommander for the Android/Squeezebox combo, Rhapsody & Sirius (of course if you have accounts) and xiialive for worldwide internet radio (lots of trance). If you order a lot online "package tracking (all services) Front ends Launcher Pro, Powerstrip BetterCuts & Folder organizer for customization That's enough for 1 night

I still have to recommend this program for anyone wanting to grab music off the internet though my enthusiasm has waned a little bit. Read the last post to see what’s changed. Audials One

+1 for SqueezeCommander. It is the bee's knees.
Thanks for the Package Tracker tip. I will be using that a lot.

I'm still enjoying Easy CD-DA Extractor for my CD ripping and metadata editing needs. dBpoweramp was fantastic for batch conversion of my music collection from WMA Lossless to FLAC, but I haven't used it since. It was definitely the fastest converter I tried, though. FileZilla still impresses me with its speed as an FTP client, blowing away CuteFTP. What are PC users using for image editing these days? For someone who doesn't want to invest in Photoshop, that is. I seem to get what I need out of Paint Shop Pro Photo. I also keep Paint.net on my computer, which I use on occasion just because, but for the most part I find it easier to use PSP. I've bought new versions of Paint Shop Pro over the years, starting when it was still Jasc Software and not Corel. So yeah, I let a few new versions come out, then I wait for the latest version to go on sale on Amazon.com. I always seem to be let down by the freeware image editors, but maybe there's one that slipped by me. Anyway, just curious what everyone else is using. For simple image viewing, I do like Picasa a lot. MediaMonkey has been treating me well for music playback. I still don't use any programs to actually organize my music for me, though. I still rely on the folder/filename system that I like to keep everything organized. Also, what program do you guys use when you're going to transfer the contents of one hard drive to another? Back in the day it was always Norton Ghost. I used the free edition of Macrium Reflect last, and it worked without a hitch. What do you all use these days?

Jakewash, that was me. I found the "c" weighting on the ultimate ears app to be VERY close to my digital rat shack spl meter. I'd say it's good enough for calibration and then if things still don't sound right then think about another method. I quoted the above from another thread because I thought I would fit in here.
