- “fabulous free software for recording podcasts” Don Taylor
- “One of the best (free) audio tools out there” B J Schone
- “Audio is a versatile option for an elearning. With the free Audacity tool it is easy to produce, edit and publish audio as an MP3 or other file formats.” Steve Rayson
- “Though I use iTunes to manage my music, this is only because it works well with my iPod. And I use an iPod only because my iRiver was smashed and can’t be replaced. My real audio application – the tool I use to create, edit and convert audio files – is Audacity. What I like is the ability to work in multiple file formats, to record long chunks of content, easy editing and content filtering (including noise removal) and to output in small MP3 files.” Stephen Downes
- “while there are other great audio programs, you cannot beat the functionality for the price!” Audrey Williams”A robust sound recording/editing tool and it is open source.” Guy Boulet
- “In the past I used Sonic Foundry’s Sound Forge, but Audacity does everything I need. The large library of plugins add all the functionality I think I might ever need. It’s free and open source too.” Charles Jennings
- “This easy to use FREE audio editing software is easy to use for podcasting and editing audio files. You will need the LAME Mp3 encoder if you want to export your audio files at MP3 instead of WAV – but it’s easy to download and install.” Colette Cassinelli
