The Review:
Jax is a nice program to add on to iTunes. With the ability to easily add lyrics, change your Album Art and convert videos to go onto your iPod. Jax is really easy to use and enhances your iTunes experience.
Jax has perfectly converted a few videos in a somewhat short amount of time. Adding lyrics to your music is easy though can take quite a while as you have to go song by song as opposed to be able to adding the lyrics for an entire album at a time.
With Jax you can also convert your favorite flash based video such as those on YouTube and load them on your iPod. You simply have to drag the link into Jax and watch it do its magic. You can also click on Music Map and it will show you information about the band or singer you select mainly who is in that band.
Jax has helped me load a few videos onto my iPod Touch(16GB) which, will have the review posted next week. I have also added lyrics to several songs. For more information or to purchase Jax please visit the site listed below. Jax has a price tag of $49.95.

Jax does an excellent job at what it is intended to do though it could be a bit more efficient at loading lyrics so it receives a great score of 9.5/10.

The Review:
Ever delete a picture you took from your camera or memory card by accident? This is where Klix comes in. Klix is a great picture recovery program to rescue your picture.
Klix can even after formatting the card in most cases can find and restore pictures. When I ran Klix I was rather skeptical as to how well it would perform. At first it brought up the most recent pictures that I had deleted which was no big surprise but as I looked at pictures further down the list I saw pictures that were a year possibly even older.
Klix is without a doubt a great program and super easy to use. All you need to do is connect your camera/memory card and load Klix then hit start and it will do the rest. For more information and to purchase Klix please visit the site listed below. Klix is priced at a reasonable price of $29.95 which is a steal when you consider how much trouble it can save you if you tend to lose pictures.

The Review:
Data Backup 3 is an excellent backup utility. You can create very specific backups or just clone your entire Mac HD to have a bootable backup.
Data Backup 3 is real simple to use and does its job well. If you want the most out of your backup I highly recommend using the clone option and checking the complete scan box just to make sure you have an exact copy of your drive to provide a way to completely recover your system in case of a massive failure.
With the scheduling abilities of Data Backup 3 there is no excuse for you to not be able to run frequent backups to always have an up to date copy of your system on another drive. I recommend backing up at least once a month and right before you make any major changes to several files or programs. Since Data Backup 3 will wake your computer from sleep or even have it turn on to do your backup it makes the process a lot more simple and hassle free.
Overall Data Backup 3 is a great backup program and may well be one of the best that I have used so far. For more information and to purchase Data Backup 3 please visit the site below. Data Backup 3 is priced at a rather reasonable $59.

The Review:
Delicious Library is an absolutely amazing program that you must own if you have a lot of music, games , books and DVDs. Delicious Library is a very innovative program that allows you to scan all of your media with your iSight and looks it up on Amazon and adds it to your Library.
To scan in my whole collection of games, movies, books and music only took about 30 minutes after getting the hang of it. There are a variety of ways to view your titles in their respective categories. You may also create your own shelf with whatever items you want on it for quicker viewing.
If you have trouble getting the barcode to scan you can always enter it in manually or search for the item by title. When you successfully scan an item it will beep and then say the name of the item. Yeah thats right the program talks to you.
Overall Delicious Library is a great program and has made my life much easier for when I am looking for a movie to watch or to see if I have a certain book.
