Need to edit audio files down? A free utility for that can handle MP3s? No problem, Luke. Check out Audacity. It's free, it works great, and there's versions for Mac OS X and Linux, too!

Yup, we'll be there, but we won't be taping a live show. Want us to have a meetup while we're in NYC? Email us! • The worst Geek 101 ever: Bits, bytes, and the annoying difference between the Gigabytes your OS uses vs. the Gigabytes used by the folks that build hard drives.

NEWS • More Battery Recalls This time, it's Mastsushita • Vista Pricing Confirmed Upgrades will cost $100 to $259 • MySpace To Sell Music but only from bands that haven't signed • Microsoft Experimenting With Automatic Code Zapping: More tools to protect IE... • Heads up: we've got spam problems in the comments section o' DL.TV, so until the new site launces September 21st, we're going to moderate all comments to keep the spam off the page.
