Audacity is a multitrack/recording free audio editor. It started a few years back as a simple sound editor, but since then it has evolved in a powerfull modern editor, by supporting multi-track recording. The stable 1.0 version was released only a few days ago.

Well, I use CoolEdit Pro 2.0 on Windows and, uhhhh .... it's not even close - CoolEdit has it beat hands down.
When I was trying out Linux, I was asking around for a replacement for CoolEdit and people said Audacity ... LOL, you've GOT to be kidding me!!
Sure, Audacity is good for 'basic' sound editing but then again, so is the built-in Windows sound recorder
But for Linux users, I guess it's 'good enough' ... just like all of the other open source crap that they scream is 'superior to anything you can find on Windows.' Well, in the case of Audacity, I sure hope they have something better than this *pfffffffffffft*
Now, don't get me wrong .. I'm not trying to diss the authors of the program, but a tool for serious audiophiles it is not. Or at least not yet ...
As for BeOS, give up on the "it's dead" chant. No matter if it's ever updated again or not, 20 years from now, people will still be downloading pataches to make it work on their new 900ghz Pentium 20.
