Revision as of 21:13, 13 January 2008
Audacity is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds, which works on the OLPC using build 650.
Possible uses
Audacity would make an excellent tool for citizen journalism... As a radio journalist, all you would need is an OLPC, with Audacity and an FTP client installed, to create radio packages.
Installation
To install Audacity, go to the Terminal activity, and type
su -
to become root user. Enter the root password if asked to, then type
yum install audacity
- Answer y to any installation questions. The installation typically requires about 7MB space.
- Type
exit
To stop being root user, then type
audacity
to launch Audacity. You will be asked to choose a language, then the application will run.
Enabling mp3 support
It should be possible to install LAME lib files for mp3 support within Audacity, but I haven't managed it yet.
