WebSiteam released an update of its program for improving FTP browsing experience. The application allows viewing as well as running files right from FTP. Features assume showing file related information and archived files contents.

Lots of us have experienced disappointment having to download piles of files from FTPs to finally select just a few. Every time it gets somewhat irritating. SmartFTPplayer program may make our lives a little happier. The concept of that is simple - why not browse FTP directories like your own — meaning that you can launch every music or video file to make up your mind if you want it or not. SmartFTPplayer provides you with the opportunity.

What does the program actually do? If you’re connected to FTP you are able to search within directories arranged in a classical tree style. The application automatically presents you with the relevant information related to a chosen music or video file. For instance, if it’s an audio file it would be the bitrate and all that band and album data contained in the file, if any. SmartFTPplayer allows you to playback a file previous to saving it. What’s even more exciting, you don’t have to listen to it from the start. Simply move the cursor to any point of the playback bar and press play button. The unusual thing here is that the playback bar is in a percent format. While it makes easier to search for the exact middle of a media file, looking for that favourite bridge on the minute and thirty fifth second takes a little longer. With SmartFTPplayer you also have an option to download just a needed part of a media file.

Despite what one may suggest from the name of the application, SmartFTPplayer is not totally FTP-oriented. The mentioned features apply to the Web also. (The developer should think of altering the name to eliminate misunderstanding.) So, it deals with the Web too. For the sake of convenience the program puts itself in the IE right click dropdown so you don’t have to launch it from the desktop or wherever you preferred to place the icon. It’s a pity, this doesn’t help those using other browsers.

Apart from the above, it’s a bit boastful of WebSiteam to actually title the software a ‘player’. The name becomes greatly to listening to sound files still when it comes to heavier files it’s every now and then freezing for buffering. Yes, you are able to adjust the size of the buffer manually or even disable buffering; still it’s more effective to use the program for previewing films instead of watching them.

Altogether, SmartFTPplayer is a practical application for those who are aware of what they’re searching for, whether they search within FTP or the Web. Although some may think it needs interface and feature improvements, in its current state it’s fully operable and functional.

WebSiteam specializes in developing world wide web and multimedia applications for general public use. The list of its software products includes but not limited to SmarFTPPlayer, Web Archives Viewer, FreeDBGrabber, and MPTree Lite. You can find more information at http://smartftpplayer.com

WebSiteam releases an update of its application that provides for getting album and artist information from freedb.org database. With FDBGrabber you can sort the collected information by artist, year, genre etc. and have it on your hard drive for further reference.

If you’re searching for a full discography of a ensemble or a performer that you have encountered accidentally or want to be sure whether the discography of albums by your favorite performer is complete FDBGrabber can be of use to you. This program retrieves information from freebd and introduces it to your desktop. Freebd is a big web database to browse for CD information. All the information provided by freebd service is subject to general public license, which assumes it’s costs nothing.

FDBGrabber does the search by performer or by album and displays the data in a sortable list of expandable items representing bands/singers and names of albums correspondingly. The application makes use of ‘search within results’ function allowing to find a certain name or an album/song title by typing and submitting it in the corresponding field. The collected CD data can be kept with a native extension or saved as an RTF file, which is useful indeed.

Now for the downside. The information in freedb database is submitted by lots of regular users so incorrect entries are unavoidable. Freedb personnel make use of automated instruments to work with them, however, as they claim it in their own words, they can’t guarantee that all submitted information is correct. This leads to duplicate entries, titles confusion, and even typos in the musician’s names. While it’s obvious that it’s freedb.org not the software developer who should cope with the problem, it can’t spare FDBGrabber users the confusion of choosing among ‘RHCP’ and ‘Red Hot Chili Peppers’ or ‘Nirvana’ and ‘Nirvanna’.

Still, FDBGrabber is a nice tool for collecting quick information related to musical CDs. Exporting function provides for sharing of the results with others and making discography for reference. The program is a lightweight one, requires no installation, and free to use.

There’s also a version for portable devices called FDBMobile which has the same practicability and features except for storing as RTF.

The list of its software products includes but not limited to SmarFTPPlayer, Tag2File, FreeDBGrabber, and MPTree Lite. You can find more information at http://www.websiteam.com

It has a sealed keyboard and casing that allows it to endure difficult weather conditions that includes rain, hail, sleet, or snow. Because of this, you don’t have to fear that your laptop will get destroyed if you take it outdoors and it suddenly rains or snows. It is also made to withstand pressure from being dropped. If you’re on foot, and you suddenly drop your laptop, you don’t need to freak out since it’s designed to still work even if you accidentally drop it.

On top of these special features, a rugged laptop can work as smoothly as a commercial laptop. You can install any application you might need. You don’t have to change the way you use laptop. It’s like using a commercial laptop that has been remodeled to be tough even outdoors. You might be concerned about the price. Definitely, laptops designed for the outdoors are more expensive, but imagine all the perks you can get out of the extra money that you will be cashing out. The fact that you can continue your normal life even on the outdoors is almost priceless.

A rugged laptop is definitely a valuable tool for the modern world. Whether it is for business, or for pleasure, having this device handy helps us keep the normal pace of the life we are used to. We don’t have to miss friends or loved ones because we are assigned to work outdoors. We don’t have to cancel important meetings or miss out on important opportunities just to be able to push through with a hard-earned vacation. With the help of rugged laptops and devices, we don’t have to compromise technology over nature and vice versa.

Advanced technology has brought the world closer and it has become a global village. The internet has ensured that people can keep in contact easily even when separated by thousands of miles and all it takes is a click of the mouse.

The internet has undoubtedly revolutionized our lives and the big desk-top computers have progressed to small carry-on `notebooks` or `laptops` as they are more popularly known. In another word, with a notebook, your computer goes where you go since they are portable computers.

A notebook normally weighs less than six pounds depending upon the materials used for its manufacture and its size and can be easily fitted into a briefcase. Notebook computers are no longer expensive or fancy gadgets to flaunt but are being used rigorously by most as business, study or hobby tools to give solid competition to the standard desk-top computer.

The notebook or laptop has become so indispensable that most of us can`t dream of stepping out of the house without one. What would a harried executive or a salesperson or a student do without his beloved laptop?! Company executives, sales people store all their business data on the laptop for instant access to information even while traveling.

For students, a notebook is essential to do research and is much more convenient than hanging out in neighborhood internet joints. Study material can as easily be stored on the desk-top computer as much as on a laptop but the former cannot beat the latter for sheer convenience. Students now have to make a lot of presentations in schools, colleges and having a notebook certainly helps as everything can be stored on it and carried with them.

The same goes for company executives or salespeople when they have to make presentations or a sales pitch. The laptop permits you to carry your work load very conveniently and you don`t have to worry about the hardware or getting wires connected or finding the appropriate space to place your computer. If you`d rather work from home than stay back late at work, it lets you do that being easily portable.

A single main battery is normally required to run the notebook but the battery can also be charged using an external AC/DC adaptor which simultaneously provides power to the laptop itself. If you are using the notebook a lot, the charge may not last more than an hour but light use will see the notebook working for at least two to five hours.

The display screens are very lightweight and not bulky and are much superior to the desk-top computer. One can get a really wide screen on a notebook and with wireless cards entertainment can be accessed on the go. Really top-of-line notebooks use the latest technology to provide state-of-the art performance.

The notebook computers generally have a liquid crystal display and its memory module is different from that of desk-top computers. Most notebook computers have a VGA resolution on their display screens. A built-in keyboard and a touchpad are provided in a notebook computer though an external mouse or keyboard can also be used instead.

Notebook computers generally have similar CPU, memory capacity, hard disc space as that of the desk-top computer but these are smaller and manufactured for optimal efficiency and mobility.

However, a notebook computer with very powerful features will be very expensive when compared to the desk-top computer with similar features. Usually, a notebook or laptop is less powerful than a desk-top computer at the same cost. Also, bear in mind that replacement parts of a notebook are expensive and since they are very specific, obtaining them on your own may get difficult. Do keep these points in mind before you venture to buy a notebook!

Now you can get rid of useless steps because WebArchivesViewer provides you with a quicker solution.

And there’s even more to that - you are able to launch those files with your regular programs. (Obviously, the described won’t work with password protected archives.)
