I'm looking for a portable MP3 Converter that supports batch jobs. Any suggestions?

Hi all.
I'm sure there must be someone out there that can help me out....!!

1. Using my laptop, I installed PortableApps suite to mu USB. Worked like a charm - except there are no icons visible for ANY programs I install, or any that are pre-installed (the files all load OK, though). Also, the links to documents, music, etc on the right hand side do not work - nothing opens when I click on them.
I have tried this with the full, lite and base installations but it's the same for all of them.

The rules are:
- Not proprietary (u3)
- at least legal freeware or open source
- English

I searched briefly on this topic and found nothing.

Whenever I install a portable app from this site, the first thing I always do is edit the INI file and disable the splash screen. This has gotten tedious after having used these apps for nearly a year, and having installed them over and over on various computers.

I was just wondering if there are nice banner thingys available i could use to set up a link to PA on my homepage.

and if im allowed 2 set up a link

There is a brilliant site called Abandonia. This site contains famous and classic games that were made ages ago (back in my time ^_^) and are absolutely free.

Some are not, but you will know about them when you find no link to that game to download.

Anyway... most of these games require DosBOX to play them, but a couple of them are compatible to play on XP. Some games like MDK and Turok are available to play.

I have the following apps running from Portable Apps and they seem to work well
Thought I would share (maybe there should be a link to other Apps not hosted here)

Anywayz they are:
Notepadd++ (Can't remember where I got the portable version but it's version 3.9:-/)
uTorrent
Skype (Which is portable already, just needs parameters)
YamiPod (for iPods)

To make uTorrent work Portable (don't know HOW portable it is, dunno if there is any registry calls)
Download the uTorrent EXE and place it in "uTorrentPortable" Directory

Hey All,

So after a mishap a long ago with my USB drive (the WD 6gb Portable HD), my USB adapter was quite tenuous. Well 6 months later while attempting to remove it from the USB port, it finally snapped off.

After I had ordered a new one (they can be found significantly cheaper now), I decided to open the little drive up. Inside was a 6 GB CF+ Type II Microdrive. I promptly thought... "well the drive should still be good, it was just the USB adapter that was broken".

I was just wondering if there is any way that I can change the order of the programs in my PortableApps menu.

Congratulations John (and everyone that helped), PortableApps Suite 1.0 made Maximum PC's 5th Annual Softy Awards. It's in the April 2007 issue. Definitely well deserved.
