More features can be explored via the program’s menus.

WavePad supports all commonly used audio formats, so working with a particular one shouldn't be difficult. Effects include working with an amplifier, normalizer, compressor, equalizer, multiple chain effect, and commands like reverse, fade, speed, cleanup, and voice.

Also worth taking a look at are the speed and pitch change, telephone effect, AM radio effect, text to speech, and several others.

Audio processing takes a little time to apply changes, during which you can't work with other features of the software. Once you're done playing with the tracks, save your progress or burning the files on audio CDs and share them with your friends.

In addition, WavePad also provides the possibility to analyze sound frequencies (FFT and TFFT) and an efficient batch audio converter that allows you to convert multiple audio files to various formats.

To sum up, the time we’ve spent with WavePad was worthwhile. It’s very intuitive and easy to work with and the processing speed is maintained at a decent level.

Songbird

 

Similar to iTunes, Songbird is a program that you can use to listen to music and radio. You can even import and export audio tracks from and to iTunes.

The user interface of the media player is eye-catching and intuitive.  After you have imported files, you can access music, videos and downloads in the Library.

So, you can view the title, time, artist, album, genre and rating for each song and video, as well as the tile, artist, album, source, details and status for each download.

In addition, you can create playlists and view the highest rated, recently added and recently played songs, view artwork, as well as use the "Undo" and "Redo" buttons, a search function and an equalizer.

But you can also set a song or all of them to repeat mode, toggle between main player and mini player mode, select the interface language and theme, change the media view (filter pane, list), switch to full screen mode, zoom in and out, select the page style and character encoding, use keyboard shortcuts and more.

In the "Options" menu, you can set the default directory for music, video and file downloads, install addons, set web integration permissions, delete history, reconfigure hotkeys, allow Songbird to import music tracks from iTunes, disable JavaScript, and others.

The software uses a moderate-to-high amount of system resources and contains a FAQ page (which is incomplete). We haven't come across any problems during our tests. Since even novices can easily use Songbird, we highly recommend it.
