A ton of garbage seeped through during the install download despite Norton. Took me 2 hours to eradicate all of it. Corrupted my Google Chrome browser as well, had to reinstall. Amazing amount of junk that infiltrated.

Audacity is used with Pinball Browser. Sorry to hear the issue. I had no problems with the site I used.

That's because you clicked the wrong download link.

Audacity is great and shouldn't be put in the mud because of you.

sourceforge is always clean. In fact I just downloaded it yesterday because the new version does track mixing.

Agree with most, Audacity is a great FREE audio editor. And this coming from a former radio DJ with lots of editing experience. Probably a bad download site.

Must have been, just warning people to not be as dumb as I was, not sure how the heck it happened. Spent so much time with all this I haven't even had a chance to use it yet. Hopefully tomorrow.
