Audiograbber 1.83

Audiograbber is a great software that captures digital audio from cd's. It copies the audio digitally, which enables you to do perfect copies of the originals. It can even perform a test to see that the copies really are perfect. This software can also automatically normalize the music, delete silence from the start and/or end of tracks, and send them to a variety or external MP3 encoders, such as Fraunhofers L3enc, or even use some MP3/WMA encoders internally for automatic creation of MP3's. Audiograbber can download and upload disc info from freedb, an Internet compact disc database. You can even record your vinyl LP's or cassette tapes with Audiograbber and make wav's or MP3's of them. There are a lot more functions in Audiograbber, but to put it simply: Audiograbber has the most features one can wish from such a program!

Download it and try it!

Led Zeppelin live Tour In 2008 - With The Cult.

Last time seen in show, in Philadelphia 13 of July de 1985, Robert Plant and the guitarist Jimmy Page.

Ian Astbury, singer of The Cult, made known during a club show in Cincinnati, that they'll be back next year opening the concert for a famous band. He started by saying “you may have heard of ... the name starts with an 'L' and has a 'Z' in it."

When asked about Astbury's apparently corroborate the world tour. But both The Cult and Zeppelin representatives declined to comment.

Maybe it’s truth, maybe not, but I think that we will see the amazing three living members of Zeppelin, the singer Robert Plant, the guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul performing together once again for the first time in many years.
