Audacity won the SourceForge.net Award, Community Choice Award for Best 2007 Multimedia Program.Audacity

The application, among other things, can record live audio via a microphone or mixer, and digitize recordings from other media. With some sound cards and in any recent version of Windows, Audacity can also record streaming audio.

Some of Audacity's capabilities are:

  • Import and export WAV, AIFF, MP3 files (through the LAME encoder to be downloaded separately), Ogg Vorbis, all kinds of files supported by the libsndfile library.
