+Audacity is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds.
+With Audacity one can record live audio, convert tapes and records into
+digital recordings, edit Ogg, MP3, and WAV sound files, and much more.
+
+Audacity requires wxPython or wxGTK and libsndfile, both of which are
+available at SlackBuilds.org. This script builds with support for
+libmad, libvorbis, id3tag, and libflac (all of which are included in
+stock Slackware), but they can be removed in the "configure" section
+of the build script if desired. Finally, one can also optionally
+enable soundtouch or twolame support in the SlackBuild if the
+soundtouch or twolame dependencies (available at SBo) have been built
+and installed prior to compiling Audacity. See the Audacity
+SlackBuild itself for more information.
