Duh! Yes, of course, Audacity. And there it was in my Applications
folder, totally ignored and forgotten. My question was mostly out of
curiosity, not serious interest. My laptop ProTools system rarely ever
leaves the studio, and never goes on field recording outings. It's just
too cumbersome for my style. For now -- at least until I can justify a
722 or something like it -- I'll stay with some combination of Minidisk
and old reliable Sony porta-DATs, which are lightweight, sound good and
run on AA batteries.
