We use WavePad Master's edition v 2.10 in a remote part of Africa where the simple interface and big buttons are ideal for the semi-literate people work with. They use it to edit programming for a low-power village FM radio station. In all, a Great program. But on both our win98 and XP computers, the program will truncate a file of, say 10 minutes and 100 meg, down to 20 seconds and 7 meg if for any reason the save process is interrupted. This happens with MP3 as well as WAV files. This happens especially with the cancel button which appears with the save "progress themometer", as well as in quite a few other more obscure circumstances, mostly having to do with two or more files being open at the same time. My wife has documented these cases, and we would be happy to send them to tech support. There really should be a better fail-safe mechanism in the program - loosing an hour's worth of editing is bad, but loosing the original unedited file as well is simply unacceptable for a $50 program. We are computer-savey people, and are very sure that this is a real problem and not just our own stupidity. We can (and do) of course make backups of files and all, but could you imagine people putting up with MS Word if it corrupted people's documents?
