Might wanna fix the title of the link in the stickies thread, b/c instead of the thread title it has this:

"http://www.tech-forums.net/pc/f9/rec...5/#post1347745"

Kinda hard to tell what it's about .

How about:

Magic Video Converter, it's the best I have personally used for converting almost any type of video file to any other type of video file. MP4 to divx? Sure! FLV to DVD spec MPEG? Yup! You gotta MKV file? It'll do it.

Foobar is an excellent, free, low-resources audio player.

Yes but almost everything we have listed is for Video. There is no audio stuff in there.

Well now we have an audio program, who uses a video player to play audio nowadays? I haven't found one that does everything well enough to use.
