#### Audacity is the world's most popular audio editing and recording app

Audacity® is a free, easy-to-use, multi-track audio editor and recorder for Windows,
Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and other operating systems. The interface is translated into
many languages.

You can use Audacity to:

* Record live audio
* Convert tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs
* Edit WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP2, MP3 or Ogg Vorbis sound files
* Cut, copy, splice or mix sounds together
* Change the speed or pitch of a recording
* Apply a wide range of other effects to audio recordings

This snap also includes OpenVINO™ AI plugins for music separation, noise suppression,
music generation and continuation, transcription, and super resolution. These plugins
can only be run on Intel hardware (CPU, GPU, and NPU) and a user must be in the render
Unix group in order to run on Intel accelerators (GPU and NPU). To ease the installation
of the AI models, the snap also includes a model management command that can be run using:

sudo audacity.fetch-models

For Intel NPU support, make sure to also run the following prior to running Audacity:

sudo snap install intel-npu-driver
sudo snap connect audacity:npu-libs intel-npu-driver:npu-libs
