Product Description:

Audacity is a free audio editor. You can record sounds, play sounds, import and export WAV, AIFF, and MP3 files, and more. Use it to edit your sounds using Cut, Copy and Paste (with unlimited Undo), mix tracks together, or apply effects to your recordings. It also has a built-in amplitude envelope editor, a customizable spectrogram mode and a frequency analysis window for audio analysis applications. Built-in effects include Bass Boost, Wahwah, and Noise Removal, and it also supports VST plug-in effects.

Faster Equalization and Noise Removal; improved Truncate Silence and Click Track

Misaligned audio after "Split New" or Noise Removal effect
Incorrect label movement and paste with linked audio and label tracks

I recommend Audacity, but obviously not the several recent un-launchable versions.

It seems that this is a common problem on any platform, at least Mac and Windows. Audacity 1.3.8 will not launch at all. Version 1.3.7 works fine. MBP, 2.4 GHz, 4GB, MacOSX 10.5.7
