Black Widow Media Desktop contains 15 multimedia programs executing in their own desktop environment. A new program, 'SpiderChat', added for this release, makes it easier and faster to share files of all types between individuals. Also included is 'Arachnid - Media Search and Play PRO' to Rip/Play the G1G2 networks or the NET. Also, Rip/Play individual songs from over 7000 radio stations with 'NET Radio Rip Or Play'. Or, Rip/Play Blitz Spiele/movies from the NET with 'Flash Rip or Play'. All can run at the same time. Record sound to WAV files while streaming media from the NET or playing your CDs with 'RIP What You Hear'. Encode media files from one format to another using 'WAV to MP3' or 'Convert to WAV'. Open multiple players independently and Auto-Align in a GRID if you wish with a unique 'Media Player' that can control Looping, Speed and Zoom with media centering. Select from fifteen pre-designed skins or use a built in tool to create your own skin for each program or the desktop.
