Default Looking for suggestions on dictionaries

Hi all!
I'm looking for a better dictionary and would like to get some suggestions from the experts round here. I'm currently using Microsoft BookShelf (about 1997).
My ideal dictionary would have the following features:
  • Spanish/English & English/Spanish (or maybe English/English)
  • Computer-based, but without the requirement of being connected to the Internet.
  • As complete and detailed as possible, ideally with examples.
  • Pronunciation. For example, BookShelf includes the pronunciation of many words, in both British and American English (you click on the word and a recorded voice tells you that word, a woman in British English and a man in American English).
Actually, the main reason I want a better dictionary is that I have found several mistakes in Bookshelf and would like to have something more reliable.
I would be grateful if you could suggest me a dictionary or share your experience about your current one.
Thanks in advance!
Captain Bata
