Entagged
Entagged is an Open-source audio file tagger which provides a convenient way of changing the value of audio file metadata fields, either manually, or automatically via the freedb database.
Entagged can also do a lot of organizational work. You can rename your files from their tag in any way you like, including complex directory structures, or generate playlists for selected files and folders. Furthermore, you can also tag the files from their filenames, this avoids copying all the information by hand.
Best of all, Entagged hides all the different format complexities, with one unique interface. You can work with mixed file formats, eg. you can tag a mixed album of wma, mp3, ogg, flac, mpc, ape and mp4 files without worrying!

Instead of sifting through the html code of the webpage to find the flash video, Flash Video Downloader 2 actually checks where the video is coming from and download it, which will ensure that it will still work even if the page has changed. It can even download videos that require you to login to the website and videos from websites that first play an advertisement. Flash Video Downloader 2 can also download up to 5 videos at a time in order to significantly improve the overall download time.
