However, common does not necessarily mean good. This is a common thing to require for such a feature. This feature will require your IP address and info about your OS and CPU to be sent to Audacity. Audacity is introducing a (much-requested) feature which allows for automatic updates. Reddit is much closer to spyware than Audacity. Audacity won't be sending your audio files to the Russian government. Also, I'm getting most of my information from here: Īudacity is not spyware.
I also don't like this change, nor do I like Muse Group, who are the company that 'owns' Audacity.
To be clear, I am not a contributor to the Audacity project. There's a lot of confusion and misinformation going around, especially with people who are unfamiliar with the project and software development in general.
