Introduction

This article covers a set of necessary free software for a personal computer. 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 suggest using 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 uses 14 megabytes of RAM.

If you prefer separate audio and video players we suggest using AIMP for audio. Just download and try it, we are sure you will make your choice towards its usage. As an alternative video player Light Alloy 4.4 can be suggested.

Dictionary

As dictionary software we recommend trying Magic Goody. It is a rather good dictionary, but what is more important it is totally free.

Drivers Management Programs

From time to time there is a need to reinstall the system, but time-consuming to install all the drivers one by one. To simplify this process, you can use the SamDrivers. This program allows you to save all the drivers in one file and then restore them from this file. To save all drivers in one file just click ‘Export Drivers’. To restore drivers click ‘Import Drivers’. This program allows you to install all necessary drivers for your computer at a click of one button.
