    Thumbs up What to do with your USB flash drive: Maintain Windows

    http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-...ntain-windows/

    hat do you use your USB flash drive for? How about maintaining a Windows computer? Parted Magic is a nifty partitioning tool that also includes a suite of other useful utilities. In addition to partitioning your hard disk, you can also clone disk partitions, reset your Windows administrator password, and more.

    In part two of our "What To Do With Your USB Flash Drive" series, we're going to show you how to install Parted Magic so you can run these utilities right from your USB flash drive.

    Thumbs up Files 2 Folder Creates New Folders, Pre-Populated with Your Selected Files

    http://lifehacker.com/5885278/files-...selected-files

    Windows: One feature I miss from my Mac when I move to my Windows PC is the ability to highlight a group of files, right-click them, and select "New Folder with Selection" to create a folder and automatically fill it with the items I've selected. Files 2 Folder is a free Windows shell extension that does just that—and it even asks you what you'd like to name the folder when it's completed.

    Files 2 Folder is similar to previously mentioned Smart Folders, but works a bit better. First of all, it doesn't require you do anything different than you're used to—you can still right-click to create a new folder, the way you probably do already.

    All you have to do is select the files you want in that folder, and the app handles the rest. Plus, unlike Smart Folders, it doesn't keep you from opening a file with an application by dragging and dropping the file onto the app. It fits into your workflow a bit easier and doesn't stop you from creating folders your usual way. FIles 2 Folder is free, and works wherever Windows does (It claims 64-bit Windows isn't supported, but I tested it on Windows 7 x64, and it worked just fine.)

    I'm a 3G user and I disagree.

    I have been running Panda Cloud AV Free for over a year now and it's perfect. If it updates, which is almost never it's a new release of the software. Otherwise it synchronizes to the Cloud and that's it, a few KB for perfect protection.

    If I had DSL and didn't have to be data conscious, I might consider something else, for now it's me and Panda.

    Hmm, I've never used one before, but what have you found so far by Googling?

    Nothing worth repeating....

    I remember using something a while ago but it was more hassle then it was worth. Some of the converted flacs wouldn't work, it was painful. Decided to stick to mp3's but I've just pulled 2gb's of flac files and they're useless to me in this format...

    OK, well, I will just list what I came up with in Google... but I haven't tested any of these...

    Try this one first... http://koyotstar.free.fr/indexEn.html
    http://mp3-tools.com/free-flac-to-mp3-converter.html
    http://www.boxoft.com/flac-to-mp3/
    http://www.flactomp3.net/
    http://www.audio-transcoder.com/how-...c-files-to-mp3


    BTW, have you tried import the file into Audacity and converting it from there? You should get a better result, but obviously not a batch converter...

    Sorry just saw this now. Thanks for that, will give it a bash and revert.

    EDIT: koyotstar does the job brilliantly. Seems a fairly light weight app, easily configurable and does the conversion quickly and efficiently, very nice!!!
