The Audacity Team created a very clear introductory tutorial that you can download.
The team notes that:
"Audacity is a free, open source, easy-to-use audio editor and recorder for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and other operating systems. You can use Audacity to:
* Record live audio from a microphone;
* Convert tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs;
* Edit MP3, WAV or AIFF sound files;
* Cut, copy, splice or mix sounds together;
* Change the speed or pitch of a recording;
* Create audio Podcasts."
There is a link to the right for downloading Audacity. The Audacity Team has also made other tutorials available on their wiki - check them out as you become more adept and need to learn how to make more complicated audio manipulations!
One more thing: due to software patents, Sourceforge cannot distribute MP3 encoding software themselves. There is a free LAME encoder to export MP3 files with Audacity. You can access it, along with all steps for downloading and linking it to Audacity, at Sourceforge's download and install Lame page.
