How about EasyWMA. Gotta say, it's really pretty useful for all those nasty WMAs that should have been mp3s.

BTW, I'm not sure but there might already be a thread pretty similar to this.

i agree with this. If ppl just add the apps to the existing threads, they can become a nice source of information.

Do you mean freeware, shareware, bundled in a commercial package free, or open source?


Bundled free:
iTunes on Mac and Windows
AIM/iChat

Freeware: (I actually think this is open source though)
Kismac (because Netstumbler on Windows is azz)

Open Source:
Mozilla FireFox (all platforms)
DVD Shrink on Windows
BitTorrent & its offspring (all platforms)

2. Graphic converter - was so happy when I discovered it came bundled w my PB
3. quick silver - just discovered it, just brilliant...

And just want to mention wings3d - a very nice 3d-modelling app, very easy to learn and intuitive to use.
