However, you can later remove this association from the “Settings” panel. We will soon have a look on various setting options provided by Wondershare Player, but before that, let’s see what all this free media player has in store to offer.

Play Media on your system with Wondershare Player:

Wondershare Player comes with a clean and ad-free interface, with just the necessary controls placed on the program window. You can simply click on the “Open Files” option to browse the media file you want to play. This could be an audio file, a video file, DVD file, downloaded movie, recorded file, camcoder file, or any other media file.

Apart from that, you can also create a playlist of your favorite audio or video songs and play them in loop, in order, on in random or repeat mode.

Here are 3 free audio players to automatically download lyrics of currently playing MP3 file.

All these audio players are handy to grab lyrics of currently playing song without installing any plugin. Apart from this, these players also show lyrics on their interface. So you can enjoy listening to your favorite song and read lyrics together. Most of these players can also play and fetch lyrics for other audio files, like aac, Flac, Ogg, etc., but make sure that your audio files have correct ID3 tags. Moreover, all players are also able to play video files, but only the audio will be played.

Although we already have feature rich audio video players, but none of them provide built-in feature to fetch lyrics for all songs or currently playing song. In that case, these audio players can come in handy. Let’s have a look at these free audio players.

MediaHuman Lyrics Finder

MediaHuman Lyrics Finder is another great audio player in this list. As soon as you add audio files or a whole folder, it automatically starts finding the lyrics of those audio files. Left section of this audio player shows added media files and right section shows the downloaded lyrics of selected audio file.

It provides basic controls, but it is handy enough to read lyrics and play songs together. When it fails to download lyrics automatically, you can change artist name and title of a song, and try to manually start the searching.

It is around 9 MB in size and supports WMA, aac, FLAC, m4a, mp3, Ogg, and other formats.

ALSong

ALSong is the best MP3 player in this list to automatically fetch and show lyrics of playing audio file. Unique feature of this player is that lyrics are properly synced with songs. So it will automatically scroll down lyrics and focus on the current line of songs.

There are two great features available. One is that it provides separate box for song lyrics which you can detach from its interface. Another feature is that it provides a desktop bar that will show song lyrics at bottom right side of your desktop screen. So even if you have minimized its interface, you can easily see the lyrics, and change the song.

There are many other interesting features available that makes it an advanced MP3 player: record audio, play radio, set transparency, equalizer, change the theme, etc.

MeaMod Playme

MeaMod Playme is the last media player in this list to automatically download lyrics of playing audio file. Its Lyrics finder feature is currently in beta phase, so it may not fetch lyrics for some audio files. However, during my testing, it fetched lyrics for many audio files.

It provides a separate tab on its interface to view the lyrics and save lyrics to file. Unfortunately, its feature to save lyrics didn’t work for me, but I was able to copy lyrics and save them as a text file.

This media player also supports multiple audio and video formats: mp4, Ogg, WMV, WMA, 3gp, DivX, FLAC, MOV, mpg, etc. So it is more than just a basic audio video player.

Among these three audio players, I will recommend ALSong as this player supports lyrics syncing and provides its handy ‘desktop bar’ to show lyrics.

Here’s a list of 3 home design apps for Android which you can use to create mock ups of your dream house, plan redecoration’s and more. Seeing how we’re talking about tablets and smartphones here, you can’t really expect the kind of advanced functionality and usability that can be found in desktop applications, but the apps I mentioned do come very close to being just as good as desktop software of this sort.

Let’s see what exactly it is that they can offer.

Home Design 3D Outdoor/Garden

Home design isn’t just about making everything the way you like it within the walls of your home, don’t forget about the outside, and that’s exactly what Home Design 3D Outdoor/Garden focuses on.

With the help of this app, you’ll be able to create a design of the backyard and the front of the house using hundreds of items and building types ranging from simple table sets to full on gazebos, see image above. Unfortunately, the same kind of freemium model is applied here like the one that can be found in the indoor version of Home Design 3D, seeing how the same developer is behind both of the apps. Still, app is fully functional apart from losing the save feature after 2 hours, but screenshots help with that, at least they did the trick for me.

Planner 5D

Planner 5D is a very advanced home design app for Android where you get a large database of all kinds of furniture in lots of different variations that you can use to decorate your rooms.

Since the app has a lot to offer it also requires a lot of storage space, close to 250MB. Four demo designs are available by default to help you familiarize yourself with the app. Online, in the Planner 5D gallery on their website, you can find designs shared by others or share your own creations. 2D and 3D view modes are available. Move around by holding down a screen tap, zoom with pinching, the usual. An optional paying subscription gives you access to an additional 3000 items from the paid database offered by Planner 5D for more detailed customizations of the designs that you’re creating.

Home Design 3D

Before we delve into what exactly it is that Home Design 3D has to offer, keep in mind that the app works on a freemium basis. What that means in case of this app is that for 2 hours after installation you have full functionality. After the 2 hours are up the ability to save designs is taken away, but you can still create designs and then take screenshots to share them with others.

Other than the previously mentioned limitations app works pretty much just like Planner 5D does, only the interface is a little bit revamped. Furniture selection is on the left. 2D and 3D modes are available. Room layout and furniture designs can be changed in both 2D and 3D. Furniture is placed into categories, and there’s a find tool to help you find the furniture that you need more easily.

This tutorial explains how to make mosaic in Paint.NET.

We all know Paint.NET as one of the best free image editor software. However, it can also be used to generate the mosaic. Sounds pretty interesting, right? Instead of using the small images, which is required by mosaic maker software, Paint.NET uses boxes to generate the mosaic. So you don’t need tons of images to prepare the mosaic of an image.

For generating the mosaic in Paint.NET, you will need an 8bf filter (Photoshop filter) plugin, and a Paint.NET plugin that can host that filter. To make it easy for you, I have added the link of both tools in this tutorial.

The screenshot below shows the interface of the filter using which you can create mosaic in Paint.NET.

So let’s find out how to generate the mosaic from boxes in Paint.NET.

How To Make Mosaic in Paint.NET?

Here are the steps that you need to perform to make mosaic in Paint.NET:

Step 1: First of all, you have to download a plugin that can host or run Photoshop filters (8bf) in Paint.NET. Here is the link of 8bf filter plugin of Paint.NET’s zip file. Download the file and extract it in a folder.

Step 2: After extracting the zip file, you need to copy and paste two files, PSFilterPdn.dll and PSFilterShim files, in Effects folder of Paint.NET.

Step 3: Use this link to download the zip file of 8bf filter, called Box Fitting. This is the filter that will help you to make mosaic from boxes in Paint.NET. Extract the zip file and copy paste this filter to the same Effects directory.

Step 4: Now open Paint.NET → insert an image → Click Effects menu → and you will see 8bf Filter option.

Step 5: Click that option and a small window of Paint.NET 8bf filter plugin will open in front of you. In that window, you will find Box Fitting filter added by you. Select that filter and tap on Run Filter button.

Step 6: Window of Box Fitting filter comes with multiple options that you need to adjust to make the mosaic as good as possible. You can set the number of boxes, seeds, size of boxes, and can also preview the mosaic in real-time. Apart from this, you also have the option to Multiply the Render to add finishing in the mosaic.

Finally, you can press OK button to apply the changes to the photo. It may take a few seconds to successfully apply the changes. After this, you can close the window of 8bf filter plugin using OK button and the mosaic will be in front of you. If you like the mosaic, save it, or open the same window of 8bf filter plugin to do the changes.
