Did I mention it is FREE. Audacity is developed by a group of volunteers and distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
I have been using Audacity in my little radio show for my Yahoo Fantasy Football League. Here’s a sample of last year’s Week 11 show. I’m using a WordPress Audio Player plugin to play this recording.
