Audacity is popular open source multilingual audio editor and recorder software that is used to record and edit sounds. It is free and works on Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and other operating systems. Audacity can be used to perform a number of audio editing and recording tasks such as making ringtones, mixing stereo tracks, transferring tapes and records to computer or CD, splitting recordings into separate tracks and more. The Audacity Wiki provides in depth tutorials on how to do these types of tasks in Audacity.
The biggest challenge is the recording in .aup format. You must have an encoder in order to transfer to a .mp3 file (which is necessary in order to use files for podcasts). This is great for middle school students or 9th -12th graders.
