A tibbets swiss army knife

 Have you ever seen those posts that go something like 10 software things 2022. Either genuine lists by reputable companies or badly written by Indians.

It's not remotely the same, but, here is Kingtibbets swiss army knife of software for doing stuff. 

I have a few provisos here for it. 

No online only shite,

FOSS if applicable freeware closed source if not.

No gay ass trialware, or subscriptions.

One of these I have actually paid for as the alternatives are too grim to mention.

The List

Office Suite. Libre Office

Do you want to know what all the Hardy boys PDFs are edited down from, they're cracked out to a format I can use in Calibre and exported here, 12pt Candara font. So know you know. It's a good free alternative to using old MS Office, Its also cross platform with Mac and Linux versions.

Audio Player. Foobar 2000

I hate playlists in audio players, gimme something that will import a bunch of mp3 from a source and play them or alternatively play a CD from your drive without much fuss. Can be skinned and if you have Discogs lets you download an addon to make tagging easier. Along with plugins for every format under the sun.

Scan. NAPS

If you have linux there is simple scan to let you do what this does but for windows users this is fine. Lets you scan stuff and export it with minimal fuss. Minimal editing allowed but that's what XNview is for.

Audio bothering. Goldwave.

This is the pay stuff, full disclosure here, I got a lifetime licence a good ten years back, that is how long I've used it. The main free version people keep bringing up is Audacity, which does one thing for me, rip Vinyl and export it to Goldwave. As the UI and everything else is a major brainfuck for me. There is no free ware version of Audition and all the DAWs I've tried I can't get on with

System monitoring and various exes of that sort.

Geek Uninstaller / BCuninstaller. For uninstalling.

Cpuid. For general CPU info.

Crystal Disk Info. Hard disk info thing.

Rufus. For creating bootable OS Images.

Process Xplorer Nice task manager replacement.

Teracopy. For copying

Rainmeter. Onscreen info thing.

Testdisk. For looking at old disks and recovery

Sumatra PDF. For PDF viewing 

Freac, Exact Audio Copy. For renaming and stripping CD stuff.

Deluge. For torrenting things. Barely upadated on windows though much more on Linux.
