Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.

Maybe because of this:
Unfortunately, at this time, it appears that the ChartLyrics website is down. It was up a few days ago so, hopefully, it comes back up in a few days and you can actually use this application.
The ChartLyrics website went unresponsive a couple of days ago. I'm hoping it comes back up soon so the app can be useful. Also, there should have been a check when you first launched the application that mentioned this. Did that not work?

I've uploaded v1.0.2 with better startup checking for Windows 10. The ChartLyrics site still isn't up at the time of this post but at least sLyrics shouldn't go unresponsive now. I'm pretty frustrated that the ChartLyrics website went unreachable after developing this app. The site has been flakey in the past, but not to this extent. If anybody knows of another free lyrics site with a free API, feel free to let me know.

Fun icon themes in the list to show good, bad, and TTL expired pings.
Configurable list — colours, fonts, etc.

What a great idea. I've seen at least a dozen different website ping tools and nobody's thought of this very important capability: that when some sites go down, letting you know in a way that isn't intrusive or annoying is a big help. Still, I can imagine some situations where levels of notice might be helpful e.g. playing an audio file, launching a program, a tray popup, and/or prompting the user.
Skwire's programs have been a big hit here (I use Splat daily) so I feel sure we'll get this added soon.

Oh hell yeah. Let me test that out and get back to you. Thanks!
Finally go to test -- this is excellent. I can see advantages for web developers, system and network admins, and people who just need confirmation their network is online. I have some spotty wireless for example and I'd much rather have this program tell me than wonder why I suddenly have a bunch of 404 msgs.
Great program, thanks for making this available for free.
Wishlist
You might want to set up a notification option that only notifies if something is down e.g. no prompt unless something's wrong. On the other hand I can see some folks wanting something in line with a heartbeat monitor in a hospital.
It looks like any settings changes require a restart. I set notifications (in my test I used balloon tips) to check the process for 5 seconds apart. Then, if you set it to 60 seconds and the program still pops up every 5 seconds. You can fix this by restarting, but thought I'd point that out.
Is there a log file of some type so you can see exactly when a host isn't reachable? I ask because I used to have a web hosting service that would go offline from time to time (dreamhost) and I wanted to be able to point to specific dates and times when that happened.

Skwire Empire wrote:MPCPLed is a new application written to fill the request made here. MPCPL files are playlist files created by the very popular Media Player Classic application. Unfortunately, re-ordering items with MPC’s built-in playlist editor is limited to dragging and dropping only one line at a time. Also, for keyboard ninjas, there are no hotkeys to shift items around. Needless to say, for long playlists, re-ordering items can get tedious. MPCPLed aims to make things easier by allowing dragging and dropping of multiple items and hotkeys for all actions. If you have such a need, please give MPCPLed a try.
