I thought it might be good to have a listing of music related freeware. Here's some of the ones I use:
Audacity (of course)

Reaper Sequencer (You're supposed to pay for it if you use it past 30 days, but it's uncrippled even if you don't)

Ugo Audio Soft Synths: String Theory, Motion, Rez, Texture, and "The Element of Surprise"
Click on "VST" (Demo versions of paid synths also available)

From website:
The ultimate lo-fi weapon, iZotope Vinyl uses 64-bit processing and advanced filtering, modeling and resampling to create authentic "vinyl" simulation, as if the audio was a record being played on a record player.

It's free, but you have to register.
Interesting?!

After having uploaded sounds (in OGG format) to the Splice server I usually delete my local WAVs. However sometimes I keep backups of the original WAVs (mainly vocals/lyrics) for eventual further use, maybe to create another version of the song.
Since WAVs are memory eaters, it is recommended to compress them. ZIP or RAR is ok, but best results can be achieved by using a special audio compression tool. As far as I experienced, RATHOLE (*.rhl) had the nicest results.

You may download it from their site directly - alternatively from my server: http://raschedv.net/dl/EdgeSounds.RatHole.3.1.0.zip
how about buying a bigger Hard drive ?
it should be a lot better, and shouldn't be so expensive :-/
I found this from kvr.com a site that reviews new software , but I have not tried it . It is free and in the alpha testing stage and says some functions may not be available. I hope it can help some one who can't afford to pay for software. http://koblo.com/studio There are a lot of update reviews on kvr.com and they will email them to you if you sign up .plus they have a place to add your songs for others to listen to. I haven't added any ,so I can't say if it might help you. Maybe they might want to advertise here if anyone is interested in pursuing that.
Updated my own mp3-page (http://raschedv.net/audasa.html) by changing to another Flash player (named Zanmantou). Formerly I used IGTB's player, but with increasing amount of instances it did't work properly any longer.
Now I'm using a single player instance for all songs, which seems to be rather logical... who wants to listen more than one tune at the same time?
This free player (developed by two german guys - have a look at their page at http://zanmantou.a3non.org) is highly customable, and I created a minimalistic Asaguare-skin for it; with solely 3 elements:
- progress bar (song position)
- info field (for stream loading in %)
- volume slider
But there's much more possibilities... like inserting buttons (play, stop, next, mute...), panning, playlists and even videos.
So if you'd like to check/use it on your own page (local or server) and you get stuck in the german description, feel free to ask me for further infos.
