Here is a list of software I intend to implement, once I can spare the extra time. Please let me know if you already know any freeware (under Windows) that does any of the following:

• Flickr Tag Synchronizer: The idea is to have a program that will synchronize the additional photo data (tags, geo-tags, comments), which was associated with your pictures when they were uploaded to or edited in Flickr with the source pictures on your computer. I would like to have all the meta data in the pictures file-header and to be honest, I’m not too keen to do the tagging all over again.
• MP3 “Nurse“: Right now I use three individual programs on MP3s before I import them into iTunes: Mp3Gain, MusicBrainz Tagger, BPM Analyzer. I’d like to combine all three functionalities into one piece of software. Shouldn’t be that big of a deal since the first two projects offer open-source SDKs and libraries and there is a free BPM Detection Library.
• Skype Online Notification: Skype is missing a notification setting that let’s you know when one or multiple contacts come online.

UPDATE: I found the tool downloadr, which will not let you synchronize your photo collection with Flickr, but rather allows you to download all your flickr images, including their meta data, incl. (geo-) tags. So I’ll just replace my “old” images with the newly downloaded tagged versions from Flickr. For the subsequent synchronization, FlickrSync seems to do the job of keeping your local repository synced with the Flickr database. Haven’t tried it yet, though.

UPDATE 2: Today I published my Skype Plugin “Contact Alarm”, which takes care of the third item on the list. For details, go here.
