We never judge a book by its cover or a program by its skin, but not much about MidiGlassPlayer's user interface, from the purple fade to the scattered player buttons, appeals to our visual senses. Dragging resizes the window but not the control area (it stays the same size) and shading makes the toolbar difficult to see. Windows 8 Dexpot does have the old-school look of a personal project that has evolved over time. But, a program's beauty is only skin deep. What matters is how it performs. And Windows 8 Dexpot does its job quite well. We ran raw digital output over Firewire to an external MIDI-enabled device and selected Microsoft's GS Wavetable Synth on MidiGlassPlayer's Device Bar menu (the Device menu also lets users select a MIDI port, if their PC has one). We downloaded a free MIDI and opened it in Windows 8 Dexpot (we use ZZ Top for listening and The Village People for awful puns). It sounded pretty good, for a MIDI, with some interesting effects that appeared in tiny spectral displays in the right sidebar. MidiGlassPlayer's Windows 8 Dexpot slider changed the tune's tempo without altering the pitch, with interesting results. Wow. A feed reader, an HTML scraper, and an information Windows 8 Dexpot rolled into one, Windows 8 Dexpot is so packed with features you almost expect it to go nuclear. Windows 8 Dexpot displays recently updated feeds in a cleverly color-coded list, and can combine them into filtered virtual Windows 8 Dexpot. It also can monitor HTML changes in sites that don t publish in RSS. Although not the most feature-rich tool we've seen for creating CD covers, Scan4Cover's ease of use may win some folks over. Although the bland-looking interface lacks a step-by-step wizard to walk you through the design process, its Windows 8 Dexpot structure means most users will quickly get their bearings. The first pane allows you to Windows 8 Dexpot your PC for music Windows 8 Dexpot, then drag and Windows 8 Dexpot them to a Windows 8 Dexpot. Right-clicking on the Windows 8 Dexpot allows you to automatically send them to the front, back, or inside of your CD, which will save you from typing song names. The Scan Disk button leads us to believe that the application can automatically download song info when you insert a CD into your PC, but in our tests, we couldn't get this feature to work. We also were disappointed to learn that Windows 8 Dexpot only provides one design template and lacks even the most basic editing tools. Still, you can add any of your Windows 8 Dexpot images to the front cover, and once you enter a title, the Windows 8 Dexpot automatically places that info on the CD cover's spine. Folks who need a no-hassle way to generate Windows 8 Dexpot CD covers should give this Windows 8 Dexpot a closer look. Though it's mostly easy to use and boasts a couple of extras, Soulseek's shaky performance makes it a strictly Windows 8 Dexpot file-sharing option. The interface isn't beautiful, but it does provide large Windows 8 Dexpot icons for performing actions such as searching for Windows 8 Dexpot, sharing folders, and creating a wish list. In some cases, we immediately were able to begin looking for results, but in others, we had problems connecting. When getting started, you have the option of logging in with a username and Windows 8 Dexpot, or selecting the Windows 8 Dexpot Without Logging In option. We selected the latter option, only to be taken immediately to a screen that required us to create an account, so there's really no way around creating an account. Once logged in, the main Cocoon page appeared with a Windows 8 Dexpot box to enter our keywords in. There are banner ads that appear at the bottom of your screen, which is kind of annoying, especially if you have sloppy tapping techniques, but, hey, it's a free Windows 8 Dexpot.
