Password Manager Needed

Once you have created your Database, File>Save As> navigate to your Google Drive or One Drive folder and save it there. I believe keepass opens the last used database by default. So once you have your keepass database, .kdbx, saved to your Google Drive/One Drive folder, open it again from that...

Password Manager Needed

I keep my Keepass database in Dropbox. I just install keepass, keepass2android, or whatever variant I need for a particular device and point it at the Database in dropbox.

What is the best way to stream music to a receiver using DLNA?

I use foobar or Asset UPnP. Both show up as options when I open media center on receiver.

Simple, Spam free, reliable MP3 ripper

I use Exact Audio Copy (free) and it works quite well. I have installed and messed with dBpoweramp (paid) on family members' computers. I found dBpoweramp a little simpler to use, but EAC works fine for me. Both work well.

Best music player for Windows 7?

I'm not sure, but I think if you check "prevent ipods, iphones and ipads from syncing automatically" under the devices tab of iTunes preferences it won't erase what is currently on your ipod. I have mine set up that way and I drag and drop tracks and playlists on and off of them. Please look...

Best music player for Windows 7?

I have tried a couple of iTunes alternatives, but always came back to iTunes for interfacing with iPods. I don't use it as my default player, mostly due to the way it handles the library, but it works well enough for making playlists and loading up our iPods. Foobar 2000 is my default music...

Best music player for Windows 7?

I compared Nero AAC to Lame mp3 and Nero AAC came out ahead over a variety of source material over the course of a few days. I have no real compatibility issues and, if needed, I can re-rip to mp3 if necessary. Nero AAC sounded better than mp3 to me. Of course, ymmv, but if you are bored or...

I do. I'm happy with the size/performance ratio of the Nero AAC codec.

Need 'helpful' programs/software

It's not really higher clockspeeds as much as it is force of habit. I've always O/C in the BIOS and am just more comfortable with it. You might want to mess with both and see what you are more comfortable with. I just prefer having to deal with less software. The overclock settings stay between...

Need 'helpful' programs/software

I don't know that I would call it "good". I tried the auto overclocker for grins and it did "ok". I personally prefer setting things manually in BIOS. The only thing I use the AI Suite for now is fan control with Fan Xpert. If your thermal paste is properly applied, you should be fine. Just...

Well, to be fair, I think you need to download codecs for ripping to function. I rip to Nero AAC and had to download the codec for that, as well as Lame for mp3. I typically rip using EAC, but occasionally rip using Foobar. I like Foobar 2000. It's library works well for me and transparently...

Case too heavy to move, advice?

You won't break "lan straps", and I would bet they would make things easier to carry. There have been several good ideas in this thread, and another might be something as simple as a "hand truck" or luggage dolly. Just pad your case with a blanket to protect from scratches when using it...

Would you still risk doing a Sandy Bridge build?

Since I already have a Sandy Bridge build, it's rather a moot point, but I would do it all over again. I'm not too terribly concerned about the flaw. I switched my SATA ports and will sleep fine. Of course, I will try to replace the Motherboard when the updated ones are available, but until...
