Would you like to convert the songs you’ve bought from iTunes to MP3’s?
Get Hot Recorder for Music at www.hotrecorder.com
Install the program and open.
Click the options menu, choose Preferences, and pick which format you wish to use (MP3 or WAV)
If you choose MP3 you’ll need to decide on a bitrate.
Last, assign a file extension (e.g. MP3) and click the Save It button.
Drag the music files you want to convert from the left window to the right and click Convert. The conversion occurs in real time, meaning a five minute song takes five minutes to convert.
Note: You should avoid running any other programs while converting or your converted songs may have errors, skips, be corrupted, etc.
This hack will enable you to rip music from any source including streaming audio!!
Go get ReplayMusic at www.applian.com.
This program strips the DRM from the streaming music so you can listen to it on any player.
After you install the app go to Settings and set Sound Card as your input source on the Input tab. Choose “automatically split tracks” on the Splitting tab, and “record to MP3’s” on the Output tab. Choose your bit rate, select both automatic tagging options, and click OK.
Now go launch your streaming app and queue up the songs you want. Bring up ReplayMusic and click start recording. At the end of the queue, Replay Music will analyze the tracks, and tag each one with the correct info including song title, artist name, album, and genre from Gracenote.

Ever been to one of those sites where you wanted to save picture but you couldn’t?
You right click but there’s no save picture as button right?
Here’s a simple and effective way to still save those kinds of pics to your comp.
Put your mouse cursor anywhere over the picture you want to save. Left click and hold it while you drag the cursor in any direction inside the picture. Now without letting go of the left mouse button, hit the right mouse button and there should be that save picture as link in the menu. BTW, if the picture your trying to save is inside of a flash presentation… sorry but your out of luck…
On a side note, if you tend to go to different sites and save each picture by right clicking and save picture as this is your lucky day! There’s a little tool out there called Express Webpictures. Go google it and d/l because it’ll save you a ton of right clicking! ^_^
::Update::
If you really really really want to save a pic but can’t and the above methods don’t work there is a way. It requires a bit of extra time and energy but it’s worth it if you really need the picture. Hold down the Ctrl key and hit the print screen button which should have the letters “Prt Scr” written on it. Now open up paint or some other photo editing program such as photoshop and hit Ctrl + V (aka paste) and save. Now of course you don’t want the whole image because you’ll end up with your taskbar and what not. Simply crop your pic and your done! ^_^
