RadioTracker Platinum | Find / Download your Favourite MP3 Music


radiotracker1 If you are a music buff and want to create your own collection of your favorite MP3 songs in a legal way, then RadioTracker Platinum is a great tool. This software is brought to you by RapidSolution Software AG, who are the pioneers in this field of music search and download industry and have provided a novel way to legally get unlimited MP3 music files.

What is RadioTracker Platinum

Simply decide the genre or artists you’re interested in and Radiotracker will do everything else.

RadioTracker searches thousands of Radio Stations simultaneously and brings them directly to your desktop based upon your search query. You can download them and make your personal library. I have found that RadioTracker software performs quite flawlessly in monitoring the type of music you want to rip and save from Internet Radio. You just have to enter the genre or the name of the artist and you will be surprised to find the number of simultaneous possible download you will see. It performs with an amazing accuracy.

If you are concerned about the quality of the download, I must vouch that the quality is extremely good. There is only on glitch that sometimes if a DJ is saying something in the background, that will also get recorded. Personally speaking, I like that thrill of live recording more than the original one.

But isn’t it illegal?

Not at all.

When you are downloading a file from a copied version over the Internet, there may be a copyright issue involved. Because you are making a copy or replica of something, which has already been recorded. But in the case of RadioTracker, you are recording yourself. The software is listening to the music and then recording it in the background before serving you for download.

This is not copying. This is recording. And it is perfectly legal.

What else is good about RadioTracker?

The other option to get your favorite MP3 files is use some peer-to-peer networks like Kazaa and LimeWire.  I have seen many people using that. But they are unaware of the fact that such networks are a huge source of Spyware. Kazaa is known for distributing lots of adware and Spyware, and I know lot of people whose PC got extremely slow after they started using Kazaa.

Yet another option is to use Torrent sites like BitTorrent and MiniNova. You may find lots of MP3 files there, but again, Bit Torrent are a huge source of spreading malware, and I will never recommend anybody to use Torrent sites to download anything in wake of huge online threats lurking around.

In such a situation, a software like RadioTracker is as perfect tool for quickly building your MP3 library. A licensed version will cost you around 20-30 bucks, but it will be a wise investment, if you are a true music buff.

Internet Security Tips: Test Passwords with Microsoft’s Password Strength Checker


This is part of a series of everyday Tips for your Internet Security.

Passwords are the keys of your Internet Security. Web 2.0 is characterized by the development of membership websites, where the content is dynamic and user driven and for using them you have to get the membership. And with every membership, you are required to maintain yet another set of username and password.

With so many usernames and passwords to remember, it becomes natural that you start compromising on the security of your passwords and start repeating them for different websites. Or you start making weak passwords like names of spouse, date of births, zip codes, telephone numbers, etc. etc. And if you do not do any of these two things, you start trusting your browser, and store your login and passwords in your browser.

I must say, all of these three situations are dangerous and jeopardize your online security.

So what is the solution

The solution lies in devising a way to manage passwords, without compromising on the strength of the passwords.

We will let you know about how to create strong passwords easily in a different article. We will also let you know how to manage your passwords easily. There are useful tools like Roboform for that (See the video below to understand how Roboform works). In this post we just wanted to let you know about a useful tool, which allows you to check the strength of your passwords.

After you have created a password, you can easily check about its strength on the Microsoft’s Password Strength Checker. You can trust Microsoft not storing your password in any manner. When you are absolutely sure about your password strength, then only you start using it.

However, after extensive trial of this tool, I am not completely satisfied with the algorithm. It heavily relies on the use of different types of characters in the passwords. For instance, I tried to make a 40 character password, with all lower case letters, and it continued to tell me it is a weak password. Yes I know that using only lowercase letters in a password is not a good idea, but the 40 character length should have prompted it to give it at least a medium grade.

But still a useful tool, and I recommend it.

Remember, your Internet Security is too precious and spending a few moments here and there to fortify your online security, is better than repenting later.
