Free iPod like Music Player: WindowsPod

Posted: 09 Nov 2012 05:00 PM PST

WindowsPod is a very simple and lightweight music player whose most notable feature would be that its interface looks like an iPod, but iPod-like interface isn’t the only interesting thing about WindowsPod. Very low resource usage that this free music player has would probably be far more important to all those who have older hardware where every bit of computer resources is important.

As you can see from the image above, WindowsPod really does look like an iPod. The large round button at the bottom plays the same role in WindowsPod as it does on an actual iPod, for accessing menus and controlling songs which are currently playing. Display at the top contains more advanced player controls and down below at the bottom is where you’ll be able to see the playlist of songs that you import to using the Add Music button. Main features of WindowsPod are:

iPod interface design – for lovers of the iPod music player
Small, non-intrusive and lightweight
Good format support – common formats like MP3, WMA, WAV are supported
Single click music switching – for flipping through music more quickly

Unlike other more advanced music players which come with a lot more extra features, music libraries, album art, lyrics fetching, WindowPod focuses more on simplicity and ease of use, which is something that a lot of music lovers out there prefer more over everything that we mentioned a few lines back, myself included.

Similar software: Danjukebox, Mcool, Boom Player.

How to listen to music with WindowsPod – free iPod-like music player for Windows

Something that WindowsPod does share with other music players would be that the songs which you want to listen have to be imported. To do this you’re gonna have to click on the Add Music button.

You cannot select and import entire folders at once, which is a drawback, but if you want to open up more songs at once, you can select them by clicking on the first one in the list, holding down the Shift key and then clicking on the last, the usual. Click OK and the songs should become available in the main playlist.

Another bug that we came across, perhaps it’s just us, but song names cannot be see on the main playlist, not until you click on it. WindowsPod is still early in development and future versions should probably take care of these types of quirks. Songs played just fine, even though they were not visible, simply click on the seemingly empty area and they should start playing.

Conclusion

Despite of the fact that there are still some kinks to sort out, WindowsPod is a very interesting music player which you can use at parties, for example, where if you don’t have an actual iPod which you can hold in your hands, you can play music with a virtual iPod on your Windows system and have an interesting topic to talk about. Single click song switching is very useful, and you can use it to switch between songs faster, thus saving you some time.

How to Control Google Tools Via SMS Using Delighta?

Each one of the previously mentioned Google services can be controlled by sending text messages starting with the dollar($) sign and the appropriate combination of letters, each service has its own trigger text.

$tasks writing

to the number which can be found on the Delighta website. This is gonna create a column called tasks, if it already doesn’t exist, and of course it’s gonna add everything that follows the trigger text. In this case that would be the word writing.

Same way that you add new data you can add appointments to the Google Calendar, and also send out mass text messages to your contacts via SMS, by using the Group SMS feature. You’ll be able to set up groups of contacts which you can then easily use to send mass text messages by only sending 1 messages to the Delighta service.

Geosense For Windows: Location Sensor For Windows 7

Posted: 09 Nov 2012 12:00 PM PST

Geosense for Windows is a free location sensor application for Windows 7, which brings Geo positioning capabilities to Windows 7, similar to what GPS device in cars have. The only difference in Geosense is that the Geo positioning is gonna be provided by software emulated sensors, which are getting their information from thousands of WiFi networks and hotspots that exist out there, instead of satellites from the Earth’s orbit.

Check out AtomGPS reviewed by us.

What you see in the image above isn’t Geosense, this is the Geosense Demo Client which uses Google Maps to show how Geosense sensors can be used to narrow down a Windows 7 computer’s location even more than what you’d might do if you were using just the classic IP location tracking. Since Geosense uses wireless connections, it would be best that you as well use WiFi when connecting and testing out this free Geo positioning software.

Key Features of Geosense For Windows are:

Find out the location of your Windows 7 computer without GPS hardware.
Uses a combination of Wifi and cell tower triangulation, and IP lookup.
Easily enable or disable the Geosense service in the control panel.
Can be used by third-party applications for geo-tagging.

Geo-tagging is just one of the uses where Geosense can come in handy. For those who do not know what geo-tagging is, it’s when information about your location is added to your online posts and photographs that you take with your digital cameras.

How to Use Geosense For Windows?

Installing Geosense For Windows and activating it isn’t very difficult, because like we already mentioned there’s no actual communication with actual hardware, everything is simulated, so you don’t have to configure anything. After installation, to enable the Geosense location sensor open up Control Panel, select the small icons view, if you don’t have it already, and find the Location and Other Sensors option there.

You should see the window which can be seen in the image above. Activating is as simple as putting the check mark in the Enabled column and hitting Apply. Once you’ve done this you can use the Geosense sensors in third-party application, but so far there aren’t any applications which can be used with Geosense. The Google Maps location calculator is just an example from the creators of this free geo positioning utility for Windows 7.

This app too can have it’s uses, for example it can be used as GPS, there’s even an auto refresh option which can reload the map every 5 seconds, so that your locations are up to date.

Conclusion

GPS hardware is expensive, and not everyone can get their hands on it. With the help of Geosense for Windows, you can use your Windows 7 computer as a GPS. Make sure that you also try the Google Maps geo location app offered by Geosense, which is very useful for determining your location with the help of your Windows 7 machine, for example your laptop when you are on the run. Download it free.
