Version: Audacity 1.2.2
"Bow down, this software is king!"
Pros: Perfect for podcasting. I can edit 4 audio tracks so I can save it as one. My radio show is so much better now that I have this program.
Cons: I hate it how I have to download a DLL just to do mp3 converting. But I cheat so I convert to wav then use a seperate program.

Version: Audacity 1.2.2
"Thank you Audacity! (Great Name!)"
Pros: It does what I was looking for. I needed an editor that would convert MP3 files to wavs. Also needed to be able to cut, paste, mix etc. Most of the programs, either give you a ridiculously small time to use it. One program had the audacity (pun intended) to allow 1 minute. Or you have to pay for the program in order to save, OR they will only convert either 50% to 80% of the file. I had ALMOST given up and decided to come back and search one more time. I can't believe it's FREE!!! From a woman who is disabled and living on a fixed income, this is so VERY helpful. Thank you and bless you!
Cons: None.

Version: Audacity 1.2.2
"Great free audio editing product"
Pros: This is a great product for editing sound files. It has all the features I was looking for, including very straightforward timeline editing and all the basic needs, like the ability to fade in/out and change the tempo.
Cons: Some important interface elements are missing. For example, you can't key in an exact time to navigate to (i.e., mm:ss). You have to use the mouse cursor, which can be inaccurate.

Version: Audacity 1.2.2
Pros: This is PERFECT for what i needed it for.
Slowing down music without changing the sound to that very deep bassy mess that most programs do.
Cons: This is a fairly simple program, doesnt have alot of features, very simple interface, and you need to download seperate thing to export files as mp3.
