Seems like something fishy is going on here. I would avoid this for security reasons unless there is some sort of verifiable explanation of why an audio file editor has to call home to function.
And the GUI is total amateur night. Looks like an old java app. $50 for that? ...not from me.

From the developer's website:
"A number of professional tools for WavePad are only permanently available if you have purchased an upgrade to WavePad Master's Edition. These features include the Batch File Processor, keyboard macros, Projects, Bookmarks, Regions and the Region Assembler. You can purchase and upgrade to WavePad Master's Edition here. ..."
A wave editor without support for Regions is pretty useless IMHO.
If you are looking for a good FREE Sound Editor, try audacity.

Challenge: Name _one_ program that has a Windows version that doesn't stink on OS X. OK, Skype. But name one more.

Get an interface designer and a beta-testing group (oh, and stick to Mac HIG and convention please) and I think you may have a winner at some point.

It appears not to follow the most simple Mac UI guidelines, such as:
- Cannot drop a audio file onto the app to open the file.
- Cannot create a selection by first positioning the cursor at one end, then using a Shift-Click to define the other end.
- Once a selection has been made, one cannot simply drag either border to extend the selection, despite the cursor shape suggestion such an action.
- Version information in the Finder's "Info" window is wrong - it doesn't list the actual version number. Makes it difficult for reporting problems, comparing app version, etc.
Dear programmer, please make an effort to follow common Mac guidelines better, and we may have a winner. ;)
Anyways, thanks for making it available for free.
