I found "MXV" very helpful when I was  cleaning up an old tape recording
prior to burning to CD.  I was able to crop dead space, split tracks and
even take out a chunk (the tape had been twisted there and the sound level
was wayy down), filter and boost it and then paste it back in.  The menus
appear to have the audio version of GIMP's capabilities though I used
practically none of them myself...  No mention of a website in the
(sparse) documentation but a search for "MXV" or "MiXViews" should yeild
something.  Otherwise, the author is contactable at
