Reminds me of the audio editor that shipped with Windows...95? Had some great times with that thing reversing everything in earshot, doing reverse reverb etc etc

Ha, I remember how proud I was when I discovered a "hack" to increase the max recording duration (from 30s to X minutes[⋆]):

1. record silence

2. copy paste the recording till you achieve the desired length

3. start recording from the beginning

On AudioMass and its performance/snappiness: this feels much more smooth than Audacity on my MBP, so I'll give it a shot soon.

⋆ or: whatever the memory limitations of your PC were

sndrec32.exe - I think it's last appearance was Windows XP (or maybe 7, I don't have either to check).

It a shame it's gone tbh, it was a REALLY quick way to just playback an audio file, without all that extra baggage that later playback apps had (iTunes clones).
