Chris's compressor can behave oddly at the very start and very end of tracks causing them to become conspicuously loud. A workaround is to copy a few seconds from your recording and paste it to the start and end, then apply Chris's compressor, then removing the bits you've added at either end. Chris...

Any reason to convert these to flac under the scenario I have laid out? If you're using an on-line converter, like the one I linked to, the size of the audio file produced is relevant : the WAV/ FLAC /MP3 produced by the converter website will pass across t'internet .

... allow Audacity and similar programs to clean them up. The computery noises (compression artifacts) cannot be cleaned up by Audacity or any other software I've seen.

I'm sure previous versions of Audacity (pre 2.0) could playback at speeds below 0.1x :

Audacity 2.0.3 running on Windows Vista.

Just noticed that playback at slower speed seems to have a lower limit of 0.1x :
when 0.01x (one hundredth) is selected it sounds the same speed as 0.1x (one tenth)
