Two Cent Comment,
OK, I'll try that thanks.

Two Cent Comment,
File > File properties does not tell me that the file was recorded at 320k or 128k bit rate all I get is the sampling rate of 44100Hz. I might want to save the file in the same bitrate that it was recorded in.

I do get a choice of what bitrate to save the file when I click on 'Save' that that part works.

I tried dragging audio several files into the program but it won't let me mix the files so two or more files play at once. eg Music+Sound effect.

Brian, Please let us know if it works for you!

Brian, "You can only load one audio file at a time into this program (couldn't find any way to add another file)."

Hmmm, click the Open button again?

Brian, open two or more files in the editor and use Copy/Paste Mix

dave cole, You can still download the link by just posting to Facebook as a post showed to Only Me. That means nobody else sees it.. Sometimes you can even click the Share to FB link on this webpage and then immediately close it without using Facebook at all and the download link works. Just in case folks don't know.

Casedistorted, Facebook, the horror of this century.

Lighter, you can use Save As... to select another file name/location.

mardel, I have no problems on my Windows 10 computers. When there is a wrapper - like today - I use the following procedure:

1) Delete the files in %temp%, or in C:\User's username\AppData\Local\Temp;
2) Create a separate folder, for example on the desktop. I call that folder 'test';
3) Set your AV to ignore what happens in the test folder;
4) Unpack the zip in the folder test;
5) In the folder test, double-click on Setup.exe (or Activate.exe) and follow the install instructions;
6) That's all. You can delete the contents of the folder test after that.

mardel, I always use the following method for registering all Giveaways, due to the wrapper issue (no need to use pop up warapper window) :

1) Extract downloaded compressed installation file to a new folder
2) In extracted folder, open Readme notepad file
3) Rightclick-Copy the Registration Code (sometimes both Username & Registration Code)
4) Install software as usual - when wrapper pops up a window, just kill it, as well as browser tab that opens
5) Software either opens by itself, or you open it - then click Help / Register, type Username & CTRL-V for
pasting Registration Code.

mardel,

"I can no longer get the activation to install programs from here to work on my Win10 pro computer. Used to be able to do this and now it keeps saying "failed to connect. Try again later"."

I think a couple people had a similar problem a while back, and if I remember correctly, the problem was the URL the GOTD setup program tried to reach was not available from the DNS server they used. If that's the problem AFAIK the 2 easiest solutions are to change the DNS to something like Cloudflare [1.1.1.1] or Google [8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4], or use a VPN.

TK, Thank you as I had thought of that but just gave up. Then I got to thinking, why not shut down Windows Defender and attempt to install; after getting in to that area, I noticed that Windows Defender was on for Public network and I thought that since I am not on a public network; try shutting it off. It worked. Thanks to everyone else for your thoughts on this too!!!

John H, Audio Converter is a part of our Media Pack bundle. It's not a part of WaveCut Audio Editor.

Abyssmedia,
Using John H's analogy, I can imagine a car salesman saying, "The engine is part of our Deluxe package (which costs extra) - it does not come with the car we are giving away today." I'm not sure that makes the "giveaway car" any more useful.

alordofchaos, Correct analogy - "The Motorbike is not a part of our Car".
We are giving away only WaveCut Audio Editor and it's working as advertised without additional downloads.

Abyssmedia,
I downloaded and tried this out after commenting and owe you an apology. I opened an MP3 file, trimmed some chatter before and after a music selection, then faded out the end during the applause. I have not been able to listen on good speakers to compare quality but at a quick listen seems fine.
I had no problems saving as an MP3 and was also able to save it as a WAV file. That is all the testing I have done so far but it does, indeed, do what is claimed. I don't know what task John H was trying to accomplish but for what is claimed, it does indeed work fine. Thank you.

Forgot to say, at no time during the trim/fade/save process, did the software ask for Converter.exe. No problem with registration or installation. Modern setup which allows user to choose where to install, whether to add desktop/quick launch shortcuts, etc.

TK,
1. specialized software always better than all-in-one tool
2. Audacity is too complicated for common user

Abyssmedia,

You say Audacity is too complicated for the common user (whatever that means). I consider myself a fairly basic user of audio programs and find Audacity very easy and user friendly. With no training whatsoever I've managed to do all sorts of things with it. It is so straightforward and easy to use that I would not consider even trying any other audio program.

Niv, I don't know anyone who likes the interface of Audacity. This is a problem for all cross-platform applications.
Audacity's second problem is poor performance because it cannot use platform-specific optimizations.
A large number of functions are leveled out by their low quality. They all use the simplest algorithms - you can look at the source codes to see this.

Gary, giveaway was planned a week earlier and during this time we prepared a new version.

onderzoeker,
>"Gary, you can find the answer yourself by clicking on the link in the top right under the name Publisher"
I had already looked there, which is why I stated "I cannot see any previous one in the listing for Abyssmedia (it has only this version)"

I do always check that, but due to the URL and version offered not matching, I asked. Thankfully, Abyssmedia explained about their updated version. Thanks anyway.
