Of course there was the normal record noise. So I used Audacity to sample the noise twix two songs and 'subtracted' the sample from the whole recording. Wow, what a difference! Worked out great.
So, I'm very satisfied with the freebie... |

Wavosaur is useful for simple editing but has some file size limitations, and it's not a sequencer, so you can't overlay tracks. |

Easy to use and free.
Just open the file, use your mouse to select a section, hit copy, new, paste and save it. Then move on to the next section. |

Location: big island | i haven't checked the full specs on it but i was wondering if it offered the option of splitting the tracks itself? i think that feature is built in on the "zoom H4". |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I was asking because the bit rate on the source, may not match what your computer or the software can do.
Does the file playback on your computer with just the media player? (I didn't want to assume you tried that already) |
