How to get better audio quality on Android

Certain genres of music sound better when the bass, treble, and other frequencies can be adjusted higher or lower. If you're on the Gingerbread flavor of Android, you're in luck.
Note: This how to blog post is for users on Android Gingerbread. If you're still on Froyo or older, you'll have to grab a music player with an equalizer built-in, since you can't adjust the settings across the entire device. PowerAMP is a great app to start with for Froyo users.



Grab Equalizer from the Android Market, and open the app. You will see several preset values for different types of music. If you're not looking to do much fussing with the app, you can select one of these settings or even the autodetect option check box and be done



Navigation in the app is done by swiping to the right and left for other screens with more options. If you go one screen to the right, you can view custom presets. However, if you haven't created any of these yet, then simply click the green plus sign to add a new one.



Swiping to the next screen on the right will show you a live equalizer that can be adjusted. Here you can press the play button to listen to a sample track, open a song from your own music, or even save your settings.



The last screen on the right allows you to turn on Equalizer's Bass Booster, Virtualizer, and Reverb. You'll need to press the power button in the top-right corner of the app, and then check off which features you'd like to enable in order to adjust each.



Equalizer offers two widget sizes, both showing the five adjusted frequency bars. A good place to put one of these is near your music player widget, if you're using one.

How to automatically rename your video files

There are billions of media files out there in the digital ether, and some of them have no doubt found residence in your hard drive(s).

If they've been there for long, it can be hard to remember which episode is which, or even which show is which on occasion. FileBot lets you grab your media, shake it up, and apply file names automatically. Here's how to use it:

If you've got the latest version of Java installed, just click the orange "Launch" button on this page; if not, or if you want to use it offline, page down to the Download section or Win/Mac/Linux installers.

Once it's up and running, you're faced with a clean, but not especially intuitive, interface. It's easy, though: just click "Load" at the bottom of the left pane and open up a folder containing media files you'd like to rename

Now click "Match" in the middle of the window to bring up a list of sources of correct info. You may need to try a few, especially if your show is obscure.

 
Make sure the new info looks right, then click "Rename." All files will be renamed automatically.
It's all pretty simple, and now you should be able to keep track of your TV files much more easily. If you want to poke around in the preferences, it's easy to change up how FileBot names your shows. You can also get subtitles pretty quickly if you need them!
