WAV files are the de-facto standard sound file format used on Windows
and DOS machines. You can create WAV files easily if you have a sound card
and a recording program (usually one ships with the card). Just about any
Windows or DOS machine can play sound files as long as they have a sound
card.
Some excellent digital audio editors are listed below.

- If your Windows computer has a sound card or sound module (as almost
all do), Cool Edit 2000 can turn it into a recording studio with all of
the features used by professional audio engineers.

digital audio editor. It is ideal for people who need to work with audio
