Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) is a fast multi-track
audio editor and recorder for Windows, Mac, and Linux/Unix.

The Audacity Team is pleased to announce the release of Audacity 1.3.7
(beta) for Windows, Mac and Linux/Unix.

This is primarily a bug-fix release to significantly improve stability
and usability, especially on Mac OS X, but includes some new features
too.

Cross-Platform Bug Fixes include:
* Muting/soloing caused incorrect channel results in exported stereo
files
* Fixes for Nyquist effects, Compressor and Noise Removal
* Fixed Export as WAV could be corrupted if overwriting to same file,
and Export Multiple to uncompressed formats only produced 16-bit WAV
* MP3 and WMA now export correctly with all supported metadata

Platform-specific Bug Fixes include:
* Windows Vista: crash opening Preferences
* Mac OS X and Linux: fixes for spurious clipping, label typing, no
shortcuts after running effects, and project rate when importing
files
* Mac OS X only: fixes for inactive or corrupted menus and hidden
dialogues, portable settings, and Command and Control shortcuts. Also
FFmpeg installer now available.

New features/other improvements:
* F11 Full Screen mode, high-quality
"Sliding Time Scale/Pitch Shift" effect, Audio Contrast Analyzer
* Windows: sound devices can now be opened using the more efficient
DirectSound API
* Improved latency correction using fixed correction value

Seehttp://audacity.sourceforge.net/fordetails.

I don't have any of those bugs on my pewter and so have no personal
interest, but if I did, why should I download stuff from straingers?
Couldn't it have hidden dangers attached that are designed to get past
the latest firewall updates?  "Trust no one." - Fox Mulder- Hide quoted text -

This is a music editing program,  The bug fixes are to the previous
version.of audacity.  As Whistler said its about as good an editor as
you can find out there.  It's Open Source too.

Don't be afraid of what you don't understand.

p.s. - what's your read on Secunia PSI ? I have been recommending
it as most folks have "end of life" and out of date vulnerabilities
that they don't realize. (I think that that is why I saw no mal-
effects from that BoatB.S.)
