Another Freeware Equivalent to Audacity

[Guest pixturesk@gmail.com]

I have been trying to run Audacity 1.2.1, (an older version which

seems more stable on Win98SE) but which seems to be corrupting the

driver for my AC97 sound card, which I have to continually reinstall.

I am not much of a techie so is there another similar free audio

recording program or programs I can try. Thanks.

Depends what you mean by Free. GoldWave's trial version runs pretty much

indefinitely, with increasing nags (or did for me; YMMV) - but I don't know

if the W98-compatible version is still available from them. (When I started

using it a lot, I bought the software anyway - it wasn't expensive then. I

haven't checked recently.)

Goldwave is pretty good (much better than Audacity), and inexpensive.

For Win98SE, he should look for either versions 4.26, or possibly 5.12 (I

think that was the last 5.x one that worked with W98SE, but I'm not sure -

but GW on their site always recommended the older ver 4.26 for Win98SE

users). I bet it's all still available on the GW site, but if not, he can

Google for it.
