Audacity is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds. With Audacity one can record live audio, convert tapes and records into digital recordings, edit Ogg, MP3, and WAV sound files, and much more. Audacity requires wxPython or wxGTK and libsndfile, both of which are available at SlackBuilds.org. This script builds with support for libmad, libvorbis, id3tag, and libflac (all of which are included in stock Slackware), but they can be removed in the "configure" section of the build script if desired. Finally, one can also optionally enable soundtouch or twolame support in the SlackBuild if the soundtouch or twolame dependencies (available at SBo) have been built and installed prior to compiling Audacity. See the Audacity SlackBuild itself for more information.
