The following links are for all the software bits and pieces (no pun intended) that I currently use for recording live dances to MP3 files, editing the files, and playing them at my tape groups. I hope you find this stuff as useful as I have. Most of the software is available for Windows or Linux.

windows = Windows software

linux = Linux software

wine = Windows software, works in Linux using WINE

apple = iOS software
