Cool Edit (demo version) was always reliable.
I have lately been using Audacity as it is works on Windows & Linux.
It is also multi-track and has the usual editing stuff.
audacity.sourceforge.net

I started trying out recording some old LPs to CD last weekend, and found
audacity pretty good for tidying up the .wav file. The noise reduction
seemed to get rid of scratches and ticks in the sound ok.
(used gramofile to record from input to a .wav file)

Which version were you using? There's a beta out, which I had a look at the
other day. I was planning on doing the same thing with some records as well,
but I thought you had to remove the scratches manually. Does it do this
automagically with noise reduction?

Mine is v 1.1.1 which came with Mandrake 9.1. I see that v 1.2 will be out
soon, so that should be even better.
The noise removal is under the effects menu. I gave it a noise sample of
the static on the record before the music started, and it worked on that
(but I don't know how).

I just came across these web sites - they look interesting even if some of
it might be out of date now ...
