    Doesn’t sound like they actually went through with it?

    They did not. I use Audacity regularly on more than one platform. It collects no data from me. It also hasn’t received an update in years, but still does exactly what it needs to do, and does it well.

    That said, I hadn’t heard of Tenacity until this thread, and it looks like I shall be migrating over to that anyway. Better safe than sorry.

      Wherever you’ve been using it from likely hasn’t been official then because Audacity got it’s most recent update 3 days ago. Muse group is still working on it but I don’t trust them.

        Hmm. You are correct. On both my Windows and Linux machines, I am on Audacity 2.4.2. I’ve been using it for years, now. I never changed my sources, and it never stopped working. Haha!

          And honestly, that’s perfectly OK! There’s nothing wrong with those older releases, they just might not quite have the same later feature sets but 90% of people don’t even need those.

            Yeah, and I tried Tenacity, and it doesn’t want to work at all. Guess I’m sticking with old Audacity.
