Hello Russell -

CA>>>> Any well-written WAV editor that you want to use is good. 

RT>>> Hmmm ...

Risky to vouch for software when you haven't seen the source
code. It is conceivable that some WAV editors might attempt to
tweak the saved file for their own purposes when reloading it?
I can only say the 'nature' of WAV file editing is to work with
raw binary coded data and should not alter the code when it is
loaded and re-saved back to the drive.

CA>> I really am interested in this, it's one of the better
CA>> uses for a CD burner. 

RT> As soon as that LP lands here, I will record it to HDD, and
RT> then write to a CD, and then "work" on it. :-) 

RT> The only use that my computer at home earns me a few Rands.
RT> :-) 

Haven't heard 'Rands' in so long I forget what that means. Is
it like 'gold stars' or karma etc.?
