It features stylish and informative user interface and intuitive toolbar for quick access to options."<br /><br />Main features: <br /><br />• Supports native WAV format<br />• Unlimited file size<br />• Stylish and intuitive UI<br />• Basic set of tools (copy, cut, paste)<br /><br />Note, however, that the feature set is fairly limited because this is a beta release. Other features that are supposed to be coming soon are:<br /><br />• File copying for editing<br />• Recording<br />• Tagging<br />• One-step undo/redo<br />• "Save as" option<br />• Sound rate options<br />• Sound temp options<br />• Different sound effects<br /><br />Okay, here's a strange twist: This is listed as a beta and there is a free demo available, but a registered version costs $9.95. It looks as though the regular release (with the added features) will eventually cost $15.95, so those who buy this beta version will save $6.00, but it strikes me as an odd way to market a new product.<br /><br />In any event, I'll give this a try, just to see how it does with editing ringtones for my Pocket PC Phone Edition.

Looks like a neat idea, but any audio editing program that tries to make a "slick" GUI usually means it's a low end app.

When you work with audio, you want options, not glamour.

There's so much wasted space on that sshot where those huge playback buttons are.

Agreed. But you won't want to do THAT much on a Pocket PC anyway. It's not the ideal platform to do major audio editing. The developers know that and are trying to reach a balance.

I have seen a demo at the NAB a few weeks ago: IT'S ABSOLUTELY PHANTASTIC what they have!!! 8O
