Best Free FLV to MP3 Conversion Tool

I was looking for FLV to MP3 conversion tool and my friend recommended me "FreeCorder". So I gave it a try and you know what, it really sucks! It is basically not a FLV to MP3 conversion tool but is a youtube downloader program. The FLV to MP3 is just one of the features. Never mind, I tried it and it just didn't work. Talking about youtube video downloader, it still can't able to compare with Ant Video Downloader which is the best video streaming downloader software that I've ever used! :) The worst part is this software screw up and doesn't allow me to uninstall. Thanks to the "System Restore" feature in windows!

Anyway, I found this piece of software from www.smallvideosoft.com. You can just look for "Freez Flv to Mp3 Converter" to download the FLV to MP3 converter!  In case you do not know, the FLV is the video format (i.e. flash video) that you download from youtube for example. :)

I love this software simply because of 2 things.

• Very user friendly. You just need to install it and run it. The software is self-explanatory! Just check out the GUI below by yourself!

• It is a very small program! Well, this is exactly what I need which is a software to convert FLV to MP3. Please do not give me the extra stuff that I don't need. :)

Well, the sound quality is good too,. I tried to convert the MP4 to MP3 and it worked too! Now I can listen to MP3 directly and no longer need to open FLV! Yeah, hope you will find this free software useful too!

TinyChat - A Web Based Video Chat Room

If you're lonely and feel like want to video chat with someone, you can try this out TinyChat software. The good thing about this TinyChat is you do not need to install any software into your PC. It is all web based application. I love web based application!

Unlike IMVU, you're dealing with all the real person not "Avatar". :) I tried this software last night when someone shared that in Facebook. So this is what you can do to kick start the fun:

(1) Go into this website, www.tinychat.com. You will see this page:

 

(2) What I like is, it shows the current real time snapshot of the person in each chat room. You can do the following:

• Click on "An Instant Chat Room". This will create a room for you and you will be the moderator. For beginner, you do probably don't want to try that now.

• Click on any faces that you like and it will bring you to them. :) You will then can chat with him/her. :) This seems more fun!

(3) It prompts you to enter your user name as follow. If you would like to be anoymous, I will suggest you just to put a nick name and click "Go". Otherwise, you can login using your Facebook or Twitter account.

(4) When you're in the video chat room, you can see bunch of broadcasting video streaming. These are the things that you can do:

• "Hide video" for those person that you don't enjoy to see. :D This is especially useful if you find the video streaming is lagging badly.

• Click "Start Broadcasting". You can choose either to broadcast your voice or your camera + your voice. When you do that, everyone sees your face and hear your voice!

• Chat in the public or chat using private message to person that you would like to talk to. However, people usually ignore the private message.

At first, I thought those person are not real or probably is a video chat bot. So I asked them to raise their hands and do some actions for example to confirm they're real. Yes, in fact they're all real. So there is no cheating here.

People there somehow doesn't talk much but they like to video broadcast themselves and chat using the keyboard. Perhaps they're shy? Anyway, hope you enjoy this! Have fun!
