One of the most interesting free programs that is now available is Daqu. In its initial form Daqu was designed for Windows users who wanted to download music from the internet and allow their computer to play them. It was also designed to work well with your existing collection of music, as well as offer some bonus features such as radio-style listening and automatic saving of music to a music library. The new version that is now available includes many of the features of the previous version, but has also been redesigned to make it easier to use.
Daqu will work with any system that has Internet access. Most operating systems have a good amount of built in tools for playing music and loading it onto your computer. However, many people still prefer to download their music from the internet. This is a great idea if you are going to be using your computer as a DJ or at home while doing your weekly "fetch" of e-mails. You can just download your favorite song, start it up and begin playing it, without having to wait for the program to load or end up with a corrupted file.
A newer freeware version of Daqu is now available. This version does not require you to download anything at all. You will still need to sign up for a Daqu account if you wish to be able to download songs, as well as use it on other computers. Some of the features that this version offers include: a searchable database, password protection, multiple scanning modes, automatic scanning and restoring of files, automatic tagging, iTunes integration, and an RSS feed. One of the new features is an online player, which will allow you to hear all of the songs that are available for download on the internet. This should be a big help for those who like to listen to music that they have downloaded online.
