The Most Essential Freeware For Your Laptop or PC - Part 3

On this 3rd part we will continue to list of The Most Essential Freeware for your Laptop or PC.

We will talk about softwares to help you edit sounds/audio, emulate and mount CD/DVD-ROM/HD DVD and Blu-ray drives, a software that will help you explore the world, a software to compact your stuff and another software to organize and edit and view your favorite pictures.

As I said in Part 1 and Part 2, this Hub is meant to be dynamic, that means, I am going to come back and update the list as soon as I start using a new software or exchange.

It is a "live" list, it can grow or shrink as needed.

Ok, let's get started:

I am a big fan of Google Earth, it is fascinating how you can explore the world in 3D and go anywhere you want within seconds.

Using Street View you can explore the streets and virtually walk around many major cities in the planet, everything in 3D.

You can download KMZ files, which are automatically recognized by Google Earth if you have it previous installed, and literally take a tour in a great variety of cities and places.

You can set beginning and ending points and virtually ride a "hot air balloon" while you go over the streets.

It is fantastic, specially if you are going to travel somewhere you don't know yet and then go there in person after you've taken the virtual "hot air balloon" ride.

Make sure you have to latest versions to be able to get all functionalities and enjoy.

Is a very complete software for recording and editing sounds.

You can record live audio through a microphone or mixer and digitize recordings. It can capture streaming audio, import and export a variety of files. Edit and add effects. Remove static, hiss, hum, or other constant background noises.

You are able to adjust the volume of the tracks. Amplify and normalize.

Audacity is also available for Mac OS X, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems.

With DAEMON Tools Lite you can emulate a virtual CD/DVD-ROM/HD DVD and Blu-ray drives.

You can create ISO and MDS image files from your discs inserted in physical drives.

It is just like when you are using a real drive, but a lot faster.

You can mount and unmount an image very easily within a few clicks.

7-Zip is a file archiver . It has a high compression ratio. 7-Zip supports a great variety of formats depending of what you want to do.

For packing and unpacking: 7z, XZ, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, ZIP and WIM.

It is able to use strong AES-256 encryption and to make self-extracting files. It also integrates with Windows Explorer. It is fast and easy to use software for everyday use.

With this software you can manage, edit, and share your photos.

It is very easy to work with and very simple to get around.

You can download pictures and organized them.Tag, geotag and describe all your pictures.

You can also add effect and fix your pictures very easily. You can make calendars and panorama pictures. Upload to Facebook and Flickr.

It is very functional an quick.

BEFORE you download and install any software from the internet, make sure you read all the terms and End User License Agreement. Be very careful also of which software you are downloading and if that is really the one you wanted.

I know a list of softwares can be very controversial as one's opinions can differ a lot from others since there are thousands of freeware. This list was made in good faith and it is based on my research and daily use. Please use it at your own discretion.

If you use another software and would like me to test and include it to this list, please leave as a comment and I will be more than happy to review it.

Thanks for reading and best wishes to all...
