Good program, but doesn't work well under Vista

Pros: I've used it for light editing and used the equalizer feature to reduce low-frequency noise, and it works great.

Cons: Under Windows Vista

(1) It crashes with about every third or fourth file you try to load. The only workaround I've found is to load that file under XP and save it without changes. The file you saved will then load under Vista.

(2) It often changes the Vista system sounds, so that you computer starts making sounds for no apparent reason. The fix is to Start | Control Panel | Hardware & Sound | Change System Sounds, and change back to the default, or whatever you want.

Other comments:

- The equalizer is very slow

- It hard to find the free version, so you tend to get the Masters Edition, which stops working after a while, until you pay. The free version is at nch.com.au/wavepad.

- They don't see to be fixing these problems.

Does a simple job well

Pros: It works and gets the job done. Easy to use.

Cons: When it splits audio where there is a silence, it removes a little too much at the end of each segment, so sometimes you can't hear the last word. (I haven't tried segments with a fixed time.) Also, it numbers the segments without leading zeros, so if you put them on CD, they are in this order: 1, 10, 2, 3, ...

Same as Wondershare

Pros: Seems to work.

Cons: I had already rejected Wondershare. This is the same program, right down to the typos. Both programs have an unadvertised three-minute limit.
