Comments on: VoxOx goes gunning for Skype, Digsby

What if your telephony tools lived in the same app as your all your instant-messaging protocols? VoxOx merges them into one seemingly all-powerful communications program and throws in some killer extras to boot.

erm,,,,,,, good, not a bad idea, n the skin is cool with triple o.

[ShuGank]

vry nice application,.. n it's look a cool skin. May be we can make a good communication to all our relation,. chayooo,,

[dedlam]

Downloaded, installed but a lot of the features are not up and running yet. Only facebook works. The IM works but so does pigen and trillian. Unable to make a call to China, so I imagine that it is only US friendly at the moment. Definitely needs to plug into twitter too.

Let's see how this Beta goes.

[dedlam]

Oh and I should mention that it has frozen twice and crashed once since I installed it half an hour ago...

[knusto]

Nice colors...and that's pretty much it! Because it's full of bugs, most features does not work, and what does work, does not work in a userfriendly interface for sure!
Gizmo5 is far better.
This is a flop

[smarinr]

HAHAHAHAHAHA ITS PRETTY COOL!!! yeah, of course have bugs, but let me remind everybody that nothing start perfect and this is a really nice app. GOOD LUCK VOXOX GUYS... and I hope that all features came out early so I can get rid of MSN messenger, AOL, or Yahoo one LOL

[Chriz1985]

Cool Colors, Did a couple of calls with great quality, the Callback stuff is really good. Its kind of buggy also, but I guess that understandable cuz is beta.

[arunzjohn]

Crashes while logging in in Windows Vista Ultimate..lot of bugs!!

[mb208]

I doubt if this will beat fring on my mobile. It sounds like another app that's trying to do too many things all at once and ends up doing nothing, judging by the above comments. It's also too US biased at the moment. I'll stick with Digsby on my PC and fring on my mobile...awesome.

[bunty_1244]

I install the exe but while opening it getting this error "This application has failed to start because the application configration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem" Please help as re installing the same did not give any positive resuly. Everytime I am getting the same error ....

[bunty_1244]

Do a reinstall

[Ord3s]

Nice idea, but not really useful. I thought great a All in One, that finally is able to integrate Skype. But it doesnt. So the statement "When people are forced to use so many different programs to complete similar tasks, it has become unmanageable" really doesnt make sense. I still need to run skype, and in case of VoxOX also QQ. QQ being the biggest IM in China, which is so far only supported by Pidgin. So this are 3 apps running. With one being a RAM killer. 380 MB?!?!?
With CNEt stating "380MB ....a bit high, but not outrageously so. The computer I tested it on had 2GB RAM" ?!?!? Excuse me. It doesnt matter how much RAM to have to excuse so much RAM waste. I am running 4GB of RAM. And i still wouldnt excuse 380MB of RAM for 8 chats and a phone.
Basiclly VoxOX seems to be a great idea, but lack execution. Hopefully it gets better after Beta.

The Internet popularity promotes the development of online music videos. Now it has become amazingly easy to get music videos online for entertainment. Sometimes, we may want
to extract a song from a music video. Now, let me tell you how to achieve it step by step.

Take a music video on YouTube as an example to show you how to extract the song. Here we go:

Log onto YouTube.com and search the music video first, as shown in the screenshot below.

Now you need a tool to capture the flash video and extract the song from it. There are lots of such tools, among which I recommend the powerful application Clone2go Video Converter
Professional as it is not only a completely free media player, but also a powerful video conversion application. Let?s take a look at its powerful function first:
- Convert video files between almost all popular formats. The input format includes: MOV, WMV, FLV, MPEG-4, MPG, RM, RMVB, AVI, VOB, ASF, DV, 3GP, M1V and M2V. The
output format includes: AVI, WMV, 3GP, MPEG-4, MP3, FLV, etc.
- Convert videos at high speed with perfect output quality
- Extract sound tracks in MP3 format from video clips
- Change video and audio properties independently
- Multi-select files for batch conversion
- Customize output video frame size
- Split files into smaller parts

You can download the latest version of Clone2go Video Converter Professional at http://www.clone2go.com/products/videoconverter.php
After installation, launch the program. Click ?YouTube? button, as shown in the screenshot below.

Now, copy the above-mentioned URL of the music video and paste it into the form of the pop-up window, as shown in the screenshot below.

After that, double click the bar to download the video from YouTube.

Downloading ?

Select the video when completed.

Select the audio format that you need such as MP3, WAV and OGG, as shown in the screenshot below.

Click one of the ?Encode? buttons to extract audio, as shown in the screenshot below.

[img]http://www.clone2go.com/pics/extract_audio/pics9.jpg[/img]

Then, you will see the pop-up window, as shown in the screenshot below. As it is the evaluation version, it converts each video file only for three minutes. While the Full Version can
convert video files without the limit of time, which is mentioned on Clone2go.com
Anyway, click the ?button? to continue with the evaluation.

Clone2go Video Converter Professional extracts audio very fast. Only a few seconds later, 65% has completed.

When completed, click ?Folder? to get the music. Done!

There is also a google blog http://dvd5video.blogspot.com which teaches you how to convert DVD movies or videos to popular video formats such as MPEG, mp4, 3GP, WMV and AVI.

Now, you can put the music into your portable devices such as Nokia, iPod, iPhone, PSP, Zune, Xbox, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and Dopod and enjoy it anywhere!

Yayayayayaya.......bugs schmugs......I remember when I was a kid....way back in the dark ages (or the 60's, which ever came first)....and my Mom would call saying that she could see us on a camera installed on the phone.....would scare the pants off of us. Who knew that we would actually be able to do that and now this.......this thing Rocks!!!!!!!

For a first release I think it's great. I think we've been soooooo spoiled by technology that we forget that you have to start somewhere and then improve on it. Heaven forbid if everything was perfect, you'd have nowhere to go from there and life would be incredibly boring because we'd have nothing to complain about. I'm looking forward to seeing the added functionality that this thing might offer.

Having friends all over the World it's kinda nice not having to open up 4 different Chat windows every night!!!!!!!! Of course I could always just get rid of the friends and then I wouldn't have to worry about it......hahahahahaha......OK, maybe not!!!!!!

Anyway, I look forward to seeing more features and functionality soon........

The application crashed after installation. I hope they do not do like MagicJack which is a good idea, but the software and customer support are useless. If they have customer support. And I also hope they do not do the same as Skipe which started free and now is more expensive than any regular phone because of so many hidden fees.

[Csipa1]

Waste of time,. I download, install. Then the server won't let you set up a new account. If they can't handle this much traffic how are they going to handle all thet its promises. Forget it...I don't know why CNet bothers...

[NishBuzz]

People...its waste of time trying this one. I just discovered Nimbuzz: www.nimbuzz.com
Nimbuzz has PC,Mobile,Web clients for all devices...check it out, works perfect!!

[cp4alex]

How come I didn't get the extra points? :-(
It says I only have 1.2 points!

You should have 120 points which equals $1.20

[chiefjla]

I know that VOXOX offers 120 free min. but I can not find anywhere, what the rate is after that.........has anyone seen anything that gives US rates?

THANK YOU

AFAIK, it's a penny a minute for US and Canada calls and the international call rates are listed on the Keypad tab.
