Purpose: Sound editing
Country: USA
Price: Freeware
Opensource: YES
I've been using Audacity for years for sound editing and conversion. It's free, and it's very very good. It's not for batch conversion, as it processes a single file
The best part for me is that it is also a recording studio. So for example, you're listening to an online radio, and you want to record a bit of it. Audacity does it flawlessly, from multiple sources, easily monitoring. You can adjust the recording level on the fly.
For editing sound, you can add multiple effects, check its frequency spectrum, use beat finder, cut, copy, paste, trim, normalize...
It's multiple track, of course, and finally, you can save the project in its own format (a bit cumbersome, it uses hundreds of tiny files per project) and you can easily export to MP3 or other formats, AAC, AC3, etc.
For the price of zero €, with open source to boot, you can't fail with Audacity. I never do.
