Mp3tag is the best freeware tag editor. It supports MP3, MP4, AAC, OGG, WMA and many other formats.

You can rename files based on their tags or tag them from their file names, get information from the Internet, add cover art and more. All of this can be done in batches to save precious time.

If you are like me and like to have all your music collection properly tagged, Mp3tag will make your life easier. However, to be fair, there is nothing that compares to Tag&Rename, which is a commercial application and my favorite tag editor.

PDF-XChange Viewer is a freeware PDF viewer that is fast and has plenty of options for a freeware alternative to Adobe Reader.

I think this is better than Foxit Reader in many ways. I have found some files that Foxit can’t render properly but PDF-XChange Viewer shows them well.

Fortunatly for us, Adobe started to slim down its own Adobe Reader for speed and resource usage. The latest versions are great, but if you want an alternative, PDF-XChange Viewer is the best I have found so far.

This freeware text editor can replace notepad and add many useful features. It’s very fast at opening files and supports highlighting of several code formats.

The only downside is that it doesn’t have tabs and according to its author there is no plan to do so. Besides this fact, the simplicity of the interface and its options make it a personal favorite.

For a more robust editor with tab support, more features and plugin capabilities, Notepad++ it’s the best.
