Am I looking for a "particularly high tech" tool? Well, no. I'm looking for: 1. cheap 2. easy to use 3. flexible and full-featured Of course, I'm not going to get all three, but I think for a free tool, Audacity is not bad. It is certainly good enough for what I need to do. And with the splice, it (and EAC's WAV editor) seems to have been good enough that nobody could detect the actual splice (I said :42 to :57 yesterday, but it was actually :42 to :52), so it really seems to me that the tools I have were good enough to get *that* job done. The rumble was an issue I wasn't worried about until Dennis mentioned it, and given the compromises that come from removing it, I'm no longer worried about it. I'm sure there are pro audio tools that are designed to do splicing for you in the easiest possible way. But I'm not likely to be using pro audio tools any time soon. -- David W.
