Another vote for Grand Perspective and for Burn, although I haven¡¯t used the latter for a long time.

I¡¯ve been referring to Randy¡¯s list for many, many years. I found many programs that I use routinely on this list and many more that I needed for just that one time!?
Here are a couple not on the list that I use routinely that others might find useful, particularly if you do any media work.?
MediaInfo () Available in the App Store for a dollar, but free on the website. This has solved many a mystery when the really expensive apps have let me down.
Grand Perspective () Again, on the App Store but free on the website. If you want to know what¡¯s using all the space on your drives, this is the best. My absolute favorite for this task.?
Burn () Optical disc burning.?
KeepDriveSpinning () Just discovered this and it¡¯s saving my sanity. All this does is add a system script that keeps external drives spinning while the system is awake. Very, very simple, but if you have drives that are constantly spinning down when you don¡¯t want them to, this is the solution.
FF Works () A graphical UI for FF MPEG. Video encoding, transcoding, rewrapping, etc...
Shutter Encoder () Another graphical UI for FF MPEG. A bit easier to use.?
Another big, big thank you to Randy!
