Open alternatives to propietary software (V): Audacity: audio software for multi-track recording and editing

Audicity is the best program to digitize audio in your computer, the perfect tool for this task:

• Multisystem: available for GNU/Linux, Windows and Mac.
• Light but very powerful.
• Multi-track.
• Easy to use. Intuitive.
• The size limit of your file is the free space in your hard disk, other propietary software need save temporal in memory because are too slow, when out of memory these programs hang.
• You can export to wav, ogg vorbis and mp3.
• You can add more features with  plugins and libraries like use other formats like older retrocomputers ones.

I make a manual to convert several audio files to mp3 or ogg files with audacity.
