Introduction

This article covers a set of necessary free software for a PC. All programs mentioned in this article have a freeware status and can be used absolutely legally and downloaded from shara-soft.ru website.

Audio and Video Players

As an audio-video player we advise trying JetAudio. It is good both for audio and video files. It has equalizer and allows applying different effects in real time as well as change the playback speed. While playing a video file you can get rid of black spaces at the top and bottom of the screen or on the sides. OSD, subtitles and display of additional information (song lyrics, album cover, etc.) are fully supported. This player woks fine with hardware multimedia buttons without any additional manipulations. It also has a great media library and can record sound, copy music from CD, convert audio and video files
and stream internet radio. Another plus of JetAudio is that it uses very little computer resources. To play an .mp3 file it only requires 14 megabytes of RAM.

If you prefer separate audio and video players we advise installing AIMP for audio. Just download and try it, we are sure you will like it. As an alternative video player Light Alloy 4.4 can be recommended.

CD/DVD emulators

As a disk emulator software we advise using free ultraiso 9.3. Using this program you have to be careful. If you check the checkbox for ‘Ignore media type’ in program settings, the OS will see all disks inserted in the drive as non-recordable and will refuse to burn them. To resolve this issue the check box needs to be left unchecked.

Data restore

Sometimes there is a need to restore data deleted by mistake. When you delete files from your trash can, the data is not actually erased from your hard-drive, only record about this data is deleted. You can use Recuva to restore deleted data. Just select the hard-drive from which data was deleted and click ‘Analyze’. Restored data needs to be saved on another logical drive to eliminate rewriting. There is also a good restore wizard in this program. So heh recommend a very handy program for video processing virtualdub rus latest version.
