Turn CD Tracks Into MP3s With Sound Juicer [Linux]
When you look around today, you'll notice that virtually everyone now uses some digital device, whether it be an iPod or other generic MP3-capable device, to listen to their music. This is very different from a decade or two ago, where most people would carry around portable CD players to listen to their music on the go. As the technology for MP3-playback and storage became dirt cheap, more and more people started adopting the new devices.

Kill Windows Viruses With an Ubuntu Live CD
Today's anti-virus solutions are pretty reliable, protecting you from most of the common threats out there in the world. With safe browsing habits, there's a rare chance that you'd ever get infected with malware.

Discover New Music & What It's Actually Called With Shazam [Android & iOS]
Music is one of the great forces that can bring people from all walks of life together. Most of us love at least one genre of music, and we tend to get along with those who like the same genre(s). Such groups will respect your love for a genre of music if you're knowledgeable in it, but it's sad if you can't even name a song that you want to share with others.
How To Get Mac & Windows Fonts in Ubuntu [Linux]
Whenever you're happily setting up your new Ubuntu system, one of the things you'll probably think about the least is getting the correct fonts installed. If you're a bit confused about why I mentioned fonts, it's because most distributions (or at least those who'd like to remain legal) only use free, or "libre", fonts. While there's absolutely nothing wrong with using these fonts, there will most likely be multiple cases where you'll be required to have certain fonts.

Stay Organized & Remember Everything With Tomboy Notes [Linux]
If the title made you think of Evernote, I don't blame you. It's a great tool which is capable of a lot, plus it syncs with whatever devices it can run on. However, Evernote is still a proprietary tool, and some Linux users may not wish to use it simply because of this reason. It's also possible that they don't want all of their notes stored on a different server, where they don't own their data.
Enjoy Great Music Selections With Slacker Radio [Website & Mobile]
Anyone who even remotely enjoys music - and I believe that's most of us - will absolutely love it when they discover new music that they like. We have a number of highly popular music services which allow us to do just that, including Spotify and Pandora. However, those definitely aren't the only names in the music discovery business. In fact, some have existed for quite a while, including Slacker Radio.

Challenge Your Instincts And Intuition With The Game Called 100 Floors [Android & iOS]
