The free Wavosaur portable audio editor for Windows has been updated to v1.5, introducing several new features and bug fixes.
Wavosaur is one of the best free audio editing programs, along with Audacity and Ocenaudio. The software is only available on Windows. Wavosaur is a portable (no installer) and relatively lightweight audio editing application. One of its standout features is to load third-party audio effects in VST plugin format.

onOooh, I would like to use this software. Used it years ago and really liked it but since all my audio files are FLAC nowaday and it still doesn’t support this format it’s useless for me :( Hope the developer will implement support someday.

onAgreed and I’m one of the people who requested FLAC support years ago. It’s telling that such a tiny little audio app uses the WinZip format to compress it for download. Saves a few killibyte or something.
I think the novelty of has worn off. I’ve since got Acoustica from ACON Digital and haven’t been happier.
