Financing a large purchase is a big responsibility, but also an inevitable one in order to own even essential things like a house and a car. Car finance is particularly competitive, and the deals offered can often sound attractive, contributing toward the decisions people make when purchasing. In order to be sure of exactly how much a loan package will cost, Media Freeware has created a free Car Loan Calculator that will take the terms of the loan and transform them into an easy to understand monthly payment and finishing date.

A website is an essential part of any business or personal brand, and can be used for anything from promotion to journalism to fun activities. People who may wish to have a website often run into difficulties when trying to create one thanks to the obtuse but powerful HTML format, which requires a high level of in-depth knowledge to master. Media Freeware has created a HTML editor that allows users to manipulate HTML visually rather than textually, making it accessible to all who wish to create their own sites.

MP3 is the most ubiquitous form of music and audio file now found in the digital world, and there is no shortage of ways to play them on phones, MP3 players designed for the task, and on computers. These players however often require paying for, or will play only certain times of file- many people with iTunes find they have to convert their libraries to .mp4 to listen to them. Media Freeware has released a new free MP3 Player that will allow users to play their MP3 libraries without laborious hours of conversions.

We live in a media age, where the options for media consumption have never been more diverse, from TV to Films to Music to Books to Netflix and YouTube. Not surprisingly, many of these media files require many different media file types, which in turn require different software: from audio players for MP3 and QuickTime for Mov to YouTube’s FLV and now Microsoft SilverLight. Users downloading media thus have to install playback programs that can take up space, slow performance and be a nuisance to remember which one goes with which. Media Freeware has solved this issue with a universal media player.

WinRAR and WinZIP are both compression software that allows individuals to shrink the size of programs or files before sending them online. The problem many users face is that neither file type is compatible with the other, and this creates problems for people with only one of the applications. Usually, WinZIP is installed by default on Windows PC’s, where WinRAR is a download that requires payment to use all the features. To solve the issue, Media Freeware has created a RAR to ZIP converter that will allow users to open RAR files using WinZIP, a program all windows users have installed.

The piano is one of the most popular instruments in the world to learn, because it provides both challenge and reward for people at all levels. From chopsticks to ragtime to Rachmaninov, it has proven one of the most versatile and emotionally affecting instruments in the world. Now, Media Freeware have released a free virtual piano download that will turn any Windows PC into a full size keyboard that individuals can play with or program to their hearts content, and even record their compositions to playable MP3 files to share as demos or with friends.

Passwords are an essential part of modern life and cannot be avoided, especially when hoping to use virtually any product or service online. From Facebook to private email and even credit card accounts, passwords are required, but suffer from the human weakness of being forgotten. Users therefore have a need to securely store their passwords, and have previously taken to unsecure means such as writing them on post-it notes or in memos on their phones. Media Freeware has launched a safe and secure free password manager.

MKV is a file format that completely mystifies most computer users when they come across it. It’s a fairly obscure video file format that is relatively rarely used. However it is used often enough that many computer users will download an MKV file at some point. Most of them will become frustrated at their inability to play it and assume the file is corrupted or mislabeled. However MKV playing software does exist.

Stopwatches have been around since clock mechanisms were invented. People have always found it useful to measure time, stopping and starting their stopwatches to begin and end the measuring process. There are lots of uses for this functionality, usually involving sports or motorsports in some way. However this certainly isn’t the only field that stopwatches can be used in.

The DivX codec is generally regarded as one of the most efficient ways to encode video. DivX files tend to be comparatively small considering their quality. Long videos can often be converted into quite small files, making it possible to condense a feature film into a 700mb file. This feature of the codec has made it extremely popular for distribution of video files online.
