CoolIT Freezone Elite

The first sentence to the review is, in itself, blatantly false. While the Peltier/Water cooling hybrid that CoolIT offers is quite good, it is hardly the best. I've got a Vapochill Lightspeed that holds the CPU around -35C. The CoolIT solutions will never maintain that kind of temperature.
How To: Clean Up Your MP3 Library
Posted 11/26/2007 at 06:18:50pm
Personally, I found the use of acoustic fingerprinting and matching to be better suited to maintaining reliable meta data in my music library. I use three essential tools / resources. 1) MusicIP - This online database has acoustic fingerprints over pretty much every song I have ever thrown at it. The fingerprint is absolutely unique to the song. 2) Musicbrainz.org - An online community maintained database of meta data (tags) for artists, albums, and tracks. Everything has a unique Musicbrainz ID and most track MB IDs are linked to the MusicIP acoustic fingerprint. If it doesn't exist, you can contribute to the database. 3) Jaikoz is a great utility for utilising MusicIP and Musicbrainz to automatically correct the meta data in your music files. It is cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) and also does album artwork. It's a free trial and only about $20.
