Freeware (from "free" and "software") is computer software that is available for use at no cost or for an optional fee. Software that is commercial is occasionally referred to as payware.

History

The term freeware was coined by Andrew Fluegelman when he wanted to sell a communications program named PC-Talk that he had created but for which he did not wish to use traditional methods of distribution because of their cost. Fluegelman actually distributed PC-Talk via a process now referred to as shareware. Current use of the term freeware does not necessarily match the original concept by Andrew Fluegelman.

Where can I find a good freeware voice reverb or eco software?
Q. I like to sing Karaoke, but can't find any good freeware voice changer like reverb, eco etc most other singers use one, if not freeware shareware, or something like it...it sounds so much better with eco or reverbing. This to treat the voice before recording not after recording, so that it records with the effect.

A. www.forumw.org you'll need winzip or 7zip to unzip it though, you'll have to sign up for an account, but it's all free and legal. all files on this site are .rar files. you can unzip em with 7zip by right clicking the file (in the folder you saved it in) click extract here. then just use the installer and patch if it comes with one. make sure you save the file instead of selecting open after you get the download page. click free user and you're good to go.

What is a good freeware program for converting AIFF to mp3 or wav?
Q. I have songs from a friend but they are in AIFF and Im on WinXP. I need a good freeware program that will convert them to mp3 or wav so my wmp can play them. The only free downloads Ive found so far only convert 60 % of a song. Nevermind, but thanks. I went to download.com and found: 4musics multiformat converter 4.1 You can convert AIFF to mp3 relatively quickly...about 25 seconds for each file with a five second wait in between files (free version)

A. There are a few more that I use besides the two you have. It is CCleaner. If you need a good free firewall, go get Zone Alarm. Another good program is Ad-Aware. All of these programs will help your computer run better, smoother, and faster. .
