User Reviews

  • Would be great but will not allow me to add lame so I can save my music as mp3
  • i have never been so annoyed and angry to use a software.. this software is silly and useless. bad user interface. hard to use. and speed up function is nonsense... after downloading that huge size according to its competitors and trying to install and save it in mp3 format; silly software ask me to where to find lame for mp3. it is not included. because other important (!!!) functions were more dominant to add default rather than putting mp3 encoding dlls... waste of time
  • It amazes me people download this malware infested version, when the real Audacity is hosted on their own website. Can people not read that this is a "mirror"?
  • TERRIBLE! Program simply deleted an entire hour long podcast for no reason. No explanation was given, simply, "possible bug error". That's how customers are treated? They work so hard on editing and constructing something only to see there was a bug error? Great work Audacity, you have truly won my trust on this one. Never using this software again.
  • Download is full of BAD BAD BAD MALWARE! DO NOT DOWNLOAD! PC SCREWED
