2. Audacity

Audacity is a completely free audio editor, result of an open source initiative! Despite all the professional-level set of features that Audacity has — such as multi-track editing and support for live recording —, the simplicity of its UI is so impressive. Audacity supports the popular audio formats including WAV and MP3 but you will have to download one separate encoder for the latter.

Yet another thing worth-noting about Audacity is its multi-platform support. By the way, it has some truly useful sound effects too.
