Be careful with ImgBurn.
It could install Adware ...

Interesting. I have 2.5.8.0, and I know I've only downloaded it from the official site. Never seen what this is talking about.
The Wikipedia article also points out:
Quote: Both the option and offers it generates are selected by default and will be installed unless the user unchecks them before continuing with the installation
...but then, I always go through the Custom option and unchecked everything I don't want/need. And I don't recall seeing that "OpenCandy" crap.
For the hell of it I just re-ran the installer. I see no sign of anything mentioned by the Wikipedia article, nor did it show up anywhere in the installer when selecting "custom" (which actually is the default, or maybe it remembered my previous selections from years ago).
Suffice it to say ImgBurn is still my burning software of choice, until I find some reason to abandon it.

Well, it works on my machine!
We all know that developers are the worst testers. As a solo developer with no testing or qa departments, ('cause you know, users make the best testers! ) this is the reason why I seldom go longer than a month without posting updates for our lob apps. Critical issues are addressed immediately (updates posted and advertised) and others are triaged.
Software is 'dead' when users give up on it and when the author doesn't give a damn anymore about the product. 7 years with reported bugs seems pretty dead to me.

I agree, an overly large percentage of developers make poor testers.
One QA guy I worked with was possibly the world's best tester. He ran through the requirements, making sure that everything worked according to spec. Then he got inventive -- he tried to do anything, regardless of how illogical, that a user might try. Bouncing a tennis ball on the keyboard and leaning on the keyboard were classic tests for him.
Working with him was the best OTJ experience of my career. Painful at times, especially in the first few months, but he made me a far better developer.

I love this post.
Good QA and Testers can be enlightening and so fruitful.

I've made numerous changes to my program over the past two years. No fixes, but some new or improved features.
I haven't bothered uploading the new version, because
A) No one cares
and
B) I'm too lazy to get a new code signing certificate.

I had an Engineering Prof tell us that after we graduated
- we would forget 50% of what we learned.
- we would only use 50% of what we learned.
The trick is to forget the right 50%.

Ever since high school, something like 2000/2001, I've been an almost religious MP3 tagger.
Aside from where I got said MP3's (mostly torrents, back in the day), tagging MP3's can be a lot of work.
Especially when files.are.named.like.this.mp3, or_this.mp3, or worse, このような.mp3.
So back when I started programming, 10 years ago, I thought to myself I could make something to make it easier.
Something that would either read tags and rename the file, or read the file name and tag accordingly.
I wrote something half-assed back then, but never what I had in mind.
Then came Spotify and Bandcamp and I hardly ever needed MP3's anymore.
But last week I started ripping my considerable CD collection into 320kbps MP3's and this project popped into my head.
So after 10 years I finally did it!
I can specify a file name template, like "C:\Music\{artist}\{album}\{disc}\{track} - {title}.mp3" and all MP3 files inside C:\Music get tagged with the appropriate tag (given the file name follows the template).
Likewise, I can add an output template and my MP3's will be renamed and/or moved to the new folder.
It can even fetch track titles from Discogs.
Ten years too late, and that was already ten years too late, but it gives me a satisfied feeling nonetheless

Will it work for my 8 track tape collection?
