Audacity updated to v2.0.4

Audacity, the free, open source, cross-platform software for recording and editing sounds, has been updated to v2.0.4.

Changes and Improvements:

• New "Reverb" effect to replace GVerb, based on the original "Freeverb".
• New View > Go to Selection Start and Go to Selection End commands.
• New Tracks > Align End to End command to append existing tracks to each other.
• Change Tempo now supports fractional BPM.
• Plot Spectrum now supports FFT sizes up to 65536.
• WAV files now support "Album Title", "Track Number" and "Genre" LIST INFO tags and also support ID3 tags.
• Handle a bug in older iPods or some OS X applications that cause them to refuse AIFF files whose metadata contains an uneven number of characters.
• (Windows) Added support for "Windows WDM-KS" host which can provide very low latencies if you reduce "Audio to Buffer" in Recording Preferences.
• (Windows Vista and later) You can now record computer playback by choosing the new "Windows WASAPI" host in Device Toolbar then a "loopback" input.
• (Windows and Mac OS X): VST scanning dialog now replaced with a dialog for choosing which VST effects to load.
• (Linux) CTRL + ALT can now be used to smooth samples in Draw Tool.
• Modules Preferences replaced with a dialog on launch of Audacity enabling you to choose which modules to load.

Bug fixes:

• Keyboard Preferences: Shortcuts for Generators, Effects and Analyzers were not exported. All imported shortcut changes were discarded.
• Equalization curves were corrupted in Graphic EQ mode after switching to/from Draw Curves or after running the effect then reopening it.
• Change Pitch displayed corrupted values when reducing pitch or editing "from" Frequency. Detection was very inaccurate at high sample rates.
• Bass Boost no longer clips if the track contains 32-bit audio.
• Auto Duck was excessively slow on older machines.
• (Windows) Exported MP3 comments tags were not seen by Windows programs.
• (Windows and OS X) Audacity crashed if you used system quit before file import was complete.
• (Linux) Equalization crashed Audacity if the XML file was corrupted.
• (Linux) When configuring effect parameters in "Edit Chains", "Preview" (not intended to be functional) caused a crash.
• (Linux) LICENSE.txt and README.txt were wrongly installed in /usr/local/share/doc instead of /usr/local/share/doc/audacity/ .
• Accessibility: ENTER did not toggle selectedness of a label track unless a label was selected.
• Numerous other interface fixes.
• Audacity is a free wave (audio) editor.
