On my Laptop I upgraded to Windows 8 - back in 2011. Prior to the upgrade when travelling overseas I was able to download onto CD discs my original music. Because I wanted to save space - I would only take with me a bunch of printed covers and then purchase blank CD'S and cases wherever I was...

I did find something cool! A couple weeks ago I said I wouldn't post anything more about the Microsoft Band (unless I found something really cool). Well today's project is officially cool! How could you not think Paul DeCarlo's recent project RPi + WinPhone + MS Band + Azure + Excel +...

I am trying to modify the attributes of a file (in this case the album title for a group of MP3 files in 1 folder). All I want to do is change one character. W7 (home premium 32bit) blanks out the whole box, and I have to type the all of the text again. Very annoying! XP it lets you...

Hey I found this really cool site. It hooks a virtual key synthesizer up to your own computer. You can play anything with your computer keyboard, no installation required. This works on Vista well with the connections. They will pop you for a $ 1.95 a shot. Play Synth

So I was going to change one of my songs ID3 tags the other day and I realized that not only do the ID3 tags not display in window's explorer, but they also don't show up in the details tab under properties. Also they are unchangeable via the properties details tab. I did a little looking on...
