I'm copying this to Gui-Talk because there is a discussion of this
there as well.
I downloaded and briefly analyzed this application just now. It
appears to have been created by writing a batch file and compiling it
into an executable program. I can guarantee you that nobody is going
to write an effective sound editor replacement as a batch file, so I
must conclude this is not an accident but is a deliberate and
malicious attack on blind people. I do not say this lightly, but I
say it with conviction. I don't think I got an original copy of the
message advertising this thing; if someone has one, with all headers
intact, please send it to me. I emphasize all headers intact though;
a normal forward and even some redirect/bounce functions in modern
mailers will not give me them all.

Don't you see? It's not a sound editing program at all! We've all been
screwed over! This guy wrote a virus, not a program.

obviusly you found a bug. It's at 0.1 , so don't go telling everyone
not to use it because of your mistake of installing a 0.1 beta.

if you get this message, then, please, dont get the program. thanks,
hope this helps someone.
I mean it, do, not, get, the, program. It's a program that formats
your hard disk.
Here's an item which was posted to the blind Cool Tech list which
should
be
very interesting.

Hello all,
I have written a new sound-editing application called Audio Magic. It
is
an
alternative to Sound Forge 8, but it is in the public domain and it is
freeware. It does not yet have all of Sound Forge's features, but we
are
only on the very first beta release at this point, and I would like
all
of
your feedback on how I could improve the interface. I am a JAWS user
myself,
so I have tried to make the interface to the application as accessible
as
possible. You will not need JAWS scripts to make use of the program's
features; the program will communicate it's information to JAWS
without
any
other files needing to be installed. This program is also a lot faster
than
Sound Forge in terms of saving files, etc. It includes features such
as
changing pitch, reverb, noise reduction (coming in next etc. It
can
currently save in MP3, WMA, OGG and Real Media formats. More support
is
coming soon and people will be able to write plug-ins to support other
formats if they wish. If you would like to try it out, you can go to
[8]http://audiomagic.roachhost.com
and download the latest beta version from there. You can read the
user's
guide and other documentation after you've got the program installed.
Documentation will also be available online by the time the final
product
is
released. If you feel any changes need to be made to the
documentation,
let
me know that as well. Hope you all enjoy the program.
Thanks,
Daniel
