As all the current work on Audacity 1.3 is being restricted to bug fixing (the run up to the release of the next "stable" release) I would suggest the most recent one that is available. I'm currently using "Audacity 1.3.10 alpha October 1st" and it's been great. The most recent r...

Personally I like my loud bits loud and my quiet bits quiet (even in the car) - compression trashes the dynamic range of a lot of classical music .... When the new Bentley is delivered I'll happily go back to the original uncompressed recordings, but while I'm still tootling around in the old Morga...
