If you are an iTune user, the following add on list will come handy for both Mac and Windows users.
Lets first check the programs, which should be there on a Mac computer:
Synergy: Synergy is an iTunes utility designed for expanding the graphical display of the standard iTunes feature set. The update adds the ability to display album covers of song titles being played.
Fetch Art for iTunes: Fetch Art allows to automatically download album art from music in iTunes. It uses album art from Amazon.com, and the ID3 tags in the MP3 files to determine the appropriate CD cover to download. Read More»

Jason I get so annoyed when I install applications only to find that other programs are installed in the background and set to run automatically at startup, without asking my permission. Major culprits are QuickTime, Adobe Acrobat, iTunes and anything from Logitech.
If you want to stop applications running at startup with Windows Vista, there are two ways you can go about this:

1. UI built for the era of video and digital photography
It’s not actually Microsoft’s key selling point, but the thing that everyone will probably find the most useful about Vista is that photos, videos and music are not treated the same as Word documents any more. When you open a folder of photos, they come up as they’d appear in Google Picasa or Apple iPhoto. There’s inbuilt basic photo editing. Music folders come up in columns of ID3 tags, a bit like iTunes. Finally, you don’t have to rely so much on third party apps to work with your files.
2. Image-based install
PC enthusiasts spend a lot of time installing and reinstalling Windows for their own and other people’s PCs. The Vista DVD is actually a pre-installed version of the OS in a compressed form, making it substantially quicker to install. It’s also much easier to customise for unprompted installation with the correct defaults, and you can even install your own software automatically at the time Vista is installed - like slipstreaming service packs but on steroids.

iPod users will be relieved to know that Microsoft has fixed a glitch in Windows Vista that had the potential to mess up their players data. It concerns the Vista Safely Remove Hardware function, used to eject the player from the system and although the patch, which was released a few days ago, though the advice from Apple is to continue using the iTunes eject function. CNET News also reports a number of other updates to do with hooking devices up to Vista PCs, including one that could result in a loss of images when transferring image files from a Canon EOS-1D

Jason Originally iTunes was used by most PC users because it came bundled with an iPod, but over the years its become a great application for playing mp3s. But, did you know you could make iTunes even better by adding plugins? Although there aren’t hundreds and hundreds like with Firefox, there are enough plugins for iTunes to make things interesting.
Here are some of the iTunes And iPod Plugins I’m using currently or I’ve used in the past that you might think are worth giving a try. Read More»

Jason You may think a certain program is slowing your system down or actually hanging it for a few moments as soon as it boots. If so, try starting Windows in “lite” mode. Click Start | Run, then type msconfig and press Enter. When the System Configuration Utility loads, click the Startup tab; you’ll be surprised to see all the programs you’re loading at start-up. For info, Google the ones that are questionable or otherwise annoying before unchecking them, and reboot
