It brings back lots of memories. There was even a way to pack an MP3 in a .wav file so it could play on Win31 players that didn't have native support for MP3, using Windows' codec instead. Also, from the same site: https://www.rarewares.org/rrw/cooledit.php https://www.rarewares.org/rrw/cooledit.php A program that I remember using back then. It's less than 1 MB, but has most of the features of Audacity today.

  As I recall, it was wasn't decompressed, the MP3 data was written into a WAV file with a RIFF header. There were situations where you had a decoder available, but couldn't get your app to recognize that MP3 files were audio.

  Pack. WAV doesn't need to store header and raw PCM data (which it usually does though), it's just a container.

CoolEdit Pro was bought by Adobe and became Audition. https://www.adobe.com/special/products/audition/syntrillium.html https://www.adobe.com/special/products/audition/syntrillium....

Wow! I had a copy Cool Edit from a CompuServe CD, IIRC. That got me into audio editing and making my own ringtones and whatnot.

  Cool Edit still exists! Though it got bought by Adobe and is now Adobe Audition!
