Technically, audio is defined as that part of frequency (20 Hz to 20,000 Hz) which is heard by the human ear from a radio, television, audiovisual display, etc. It also includes spoken dialogs, sound effects, music and much more. Speaking of music, we all know how music is an integral part of our lives. We all listen to music and employ different digital machines of varying sizes to do so. These machines employ audio software for audio playback. Online audio software are good for those machines which do not have an audio playback software.

Digital music machines (like Apples iPod, Sonys Walkman and computers) render music in a digital format. Before we talk about various audio software, it is important to note that online audio software are broadly classified into two types- freeware and shareware. Freeware audio software are free to download and use. There is no restriction on their use. Shareware audio software are free to download but their use is permitted only on a trial basis. In order to remove all the restrictions that come with a shareware you will have to purchase it by making payments through cash, check or credit card. It is generally believed that purchased shareware are very good as compared to freeware, but it is just a myth. There are many freeware audio software that provide the same quality and features as a shareware, that too without spending any money.

The working of online audio software also depends on the operating system used in the computer. A software build on Windows platform will not work on an operating system like Linux. Hence, before downloading any online audio software make sure that you have selected the one appropriate to your operating system.

Now, there are many types of audio software available on the Internet. You can select the software that suits your needs. Also know that advanced audio software technology has now made it possible to record even the audio tracks of a TV serial, movie, music videos, etc. Whatever you want to do, generally you would need different software for different jobs. But, there also exist some audio software that handle two or more tasks in one. For example, a digital audio editor is a software that once installed on the computer, serves the following tasks:-

* Recording of audio from different inputs like stereo, microphone, TV, etc., and storing the record file on the computer's hard disk as a digital audio file for future access.
* Using operations like cut and add on the start time, stoppage time and length of the sound file.
* Mix various sound tracks into one file or add some special audio effects to an audio file.
* Various audio files can be changed into other formats such as wav to mp3, rm to wav, mov to mp3, and so on.

Online audio software, if you are able to find the right one, can be a good thing for you, and that too without making any extra efforts. All you need to do is to locate the right audio software and download it.
