The first thing you need to do is plug up the holes in your computer case. After that, give this a try:

Exact Audio Copy is essential for ripping CDs properly and foobar2000 for playing back audio in any format for me.

gimme a good program to burn .FLAC files as an audio cd and not data.

And not have to use Burnatonce.

ImgBurn is essential for CD burning of images and files in a hurry. With DSP-worx it can burn audio files defined with a cuesheet, such as FLAC and APE.

I'd rather not have to deal with making a cue sheet.

Burnatonce was good with that, in the fact that you could just drag and drop any flac file into the burn list and away it goes.

It just doesn't support japanese or any non-english text AT ALL.

Oh. Nero is good with that.

m335h73r of PBJ · 08-11-2008, 08:45 PM

Do I have to use nero?

I don't know of any other programs that can accept FLAC files and display non-English characters.

Just a screenshot to show how much crap people do have installed on their computers that they don't need.

I've had this computer for almost two years so it isn't a new computer with nothing installed yet.

I hate having icons on my desktop so using Tweak GUI (already mentioned by raven_tker), I took off the Recycle Bin.

Also while I'm at it, a glimpse of my perfectionist ways...

How my Opera looks. My bookmark bar is in alphabetical order and all bookmarked sites have to have the little icon. There's only one site that I regular that doesn't have an icon set up so not a big issue for me. :] Then I have the tabs on the bottom because they look better clipping on the bottom than at the top. :b

Oh yeah, I'd like to point out I've had the HmmXP theme applied for as long as I can remember as well. Simple and very nice.

you can also: right click on the desktop -> arrange icons by -> show desktop icons to hide everything :P

Yeah yeah, but anything that gets on my desktop is temporary (i.e. a picture, something downloaded, etc.) and gets organized to where it belongs. Desktop gets cleaned up right after. :]

good job you, my desktop has about 80 objects on it. Generally if i dont plan on doing something with the file later it stays on the desktop until i decide to delete it just in case i want to access it again for some reason (a lot of it are images or songs people send me)

Who names their profiles after themselves on their home computer anyway?
