4 As far as I am aware this is the only sound recording and playback tool available on Linux, I find it invaluable, if more complex than I need. The verion in Lisa seems to have the bugs in earlier versions fixed, though still liable to brief recording dropouts, hence only 4 out of 5. I use it to record and play back phone interviews, and occasionally convert file types.

5 When I found Audacity years ago, I was looking for a program to convert Cassette tapes to CD. Sound Forge was too expensive and the filters were extra. Audacity was free as were the noise filters. After trying Audacity, and a trial version of Soundforge, I can say that Audacity is the best audio editing software for under $200.00.
