For any type of Audio Editing, i use Goldwave 4.x (dont like 5.12 for anything 
other than large audio tracks being recorded.... but thats just me.  I'm just 
not used to it yet.)

You can edit, record, split, fix pops etc etc etc with ease.

www.goldwave.com

try that & see if that'll work.  You might have to get a plug-in for it.

Correct.  And I'd love to see iTunes and iPods support WMA.  It'd  
make life a lot easier for everyone.

Now if only the players were supported on something other than Windows 
�I've yet to run into one that is.  My previous MP3 player could do  
WMA, but I couldn't get it to work on my desktop under Linux and BSD  
nor on my OS X laptop.

Yes, Apple does some evil and stupid stuff.  See below comment.

A lot of their Mac software isn't good.  Logically, they focus on  
Windows versions.  I'd do the same in their shoes.

I was *just* talking to my mom about Microsoft before I came back  
into my room.  In the last few years, Microsoft has stopped seeming  
so evil.  Apple...I'm kind of worried about them.

Does it?  I've not heard of any successful runs, only people frying  
their EFI (~BIOS) by trying.

I've got a friend running it on a self-built x86 box.

Linux runs fine on this if I didn't want to run OS X, FreeBSD 6  
either runs well or is close to running well on it.  :-)
