Audacity, which is a free, open-source audio recording and editing software package, was one of my Shareware Picks of the Week.

The Audacity project is hosted at that home of open-source software SourceForge.net. SourceForge provides storage space, a version control system, bug-tracking software and more for open-source projects. Audacity is available for Windows, Mac OS9, Mac OS X, Linux and Unix.

What can I say about Audacity? WOW! I’m amazed that you can find many of the free open-source projects that are available.

In most cases, they are either small focused applications or they are complicated applications that appeal to a broad range of users. Audactity, on the other hand, is a complex program that appeals to users who want to record audio.

By that, I mean that it is complex programming — it is easy to use.
