Daily Discoveries: Paint.NET, AllCDCovers, Open It Online, aTunes, Make Firefox 3 Faster

Paint.NET is MSPaint on steroids. I’ve used it for a few years now and I love it. Visit it here.

AllCDCovers is a website dedicated to bringing you high-res scans of CD, DVD, and video game covers and box art. It comes in handy for used discs and digital media that’s missing its cover. Read the Lifehacker article here for more info. Go to the AllCDCovers site here.

Open IT Online is a cross-platform Firefox Add-On that gives you the option to “download” a document to an online service or to your computer via the “Open with” dialogue box. This way, you can send a text file you’ve discovered online and open it in, say, Google Docs without it touching your hard drive. Read the Lifehacker article here. Download it here.

aTunes – From the Lifehacker article: “aTunes has a host of features including tag editing, drag and drop playlist creation, Last.fm Audio Scrobbler integration, playback statistics, CD ripping, podcasts, and a multi-window interface so you can arrange individual components such as playlists, lyrics, and the main library as you see fit.”

aTunes uses the Java Runtime Environment and is cross-platform. I just might try this one out. To get it, click here.

I was skeptical at first, so I made a full backup of my Firefox profile, tuned Firefox 3 with a click and website loads EVEN FASTER!” Read the rest here.
