Thanks for replying. A check of my archives shows I downloaded Audacity in April, 2006 but didn't install it. Might give it a try.

Currently I'm using the latest version (v. 5.25 2007) of GoldWave shareware, which I bought back in 1999. It's been a fine performer for every task I've done with it.

Been MP3ing with Lame (and equivalents) since 1999, too. Just for web transfers though. For keepers the uncompressed files are the way to go.
