using macbook 2ghz
OS X 10.5.5

Audacity rocks! The UI may suck but it's rock-solid as an audio recorder and editor. As long as you are not trying to do ProTool-style stuff in real-time, everything works fine. Many professional podcasts are recorded with it.

BTW, the UI uses WxWidgets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WxWidgets), which is not exactly pretty but does the job. The resources are saved as standard image files, so technically, there's nothing preventing a designer from contributing his own.

Also, WxWidget has no built-in hooks for doing drag and drop like Cocoa, so adding this type of feature takes a bit more time since it's different for each OS.

I have lost so much work using this inferior application due to its constant crashes and poor way of managing files. Avoid it at all costs.

Audacity is an awesome app, especially for free, but there are some little quirks with the Mac version that would be nice to have fixed. For example only recently did they release a version that allowed one to drag and drop sound files like every other Mac app there is. Also it would be nice if it supported side scrolling because tracks can get pretty long.

Other than that I've used several versions on several platforms to record and edit literally thousands of songs off of Internet Radio. Though with the Mac version there is no way to tell it to record directly off the sound card. Have to use Audio Hijack Pro (which is excellent for that purpose) but then to bust out the songs, Audacity is great!

It's an OPEN SOURCE project. This means that nobody is getting paid to develop it and any money spent on it comes directly out of the developer's pockets.

If you don't like how it looks, then offer to do something about it or make a donation towards hiring someone who can. Otherwise, quit your complaining. You're getting it for FREE. Man, there's no pleasing some people.

Keep up the great work guys...Audacity is a fantastic app!

How can ANY software, that is good, look so disgusting? They should really spend some money, and overhaul their complete design, like graphic converter for mac did it, and others did it.

Even open office looks better like this....i'd like to use the app so much, because my powerbook is too slow to record 1 audio-line-in in garageband .. but audacity just is a pain to use because of its interface.

When are they going to update that crap icon? Maybe i should shut my mouth and offer to do it.

Audacity is cool, but I wish somebody would do something about that fugly interface. It still looks like it was designed in 1996 and never updated. Wish I knew more about that kinda junk, being a designer myself.....

i swear by Audacity. MIDI will be nice for those of us who have 3+ year old phones that can't play mp3s...
