Old Audacity Versions

This page is the historical package archive for Audacity. It covers versions 3.7.1, 3.7.0, 3.6.4, 3.6.3, 3.6.2, 3.6.1, 3.6.0, 3.5.1, 3.5.0, and 3.4.2, plus 37 additional entries and is separate from the current Audacity page, which records 3.7.8.

A historical page is most useful when it answers concrete version questions. Here, the package names, version labels, platforms, and available integrity records provide that context without repeating the current Audio Editors review.

Audacity Version Archive

There are 383 preserved packages on this page. Together they represent 3.7.1, 3.7.0, 3.6.4, 3.6.3, 3.6.2, 3.6.1, 3.6.0, 3.5.1, 3.5.0, and 3.4.2, plus 37 additional entries and include builds identified for Windows 64-bit Installer, Windows 32-bit Installer, macOS DMG for all macs, macOS DMG for Apple Silicon, macOS DMG for Intel Macs, Linux AppImage, Windows 64-bit Zip, and Windows 32-bit Zip, plus 35 additional entries.

The preserved filenames include audacity-win-3.7.1-64bit.exe, audacity-win-3.7.1-32bit.exe, audacity-macOS-3.7.1-universal.dmg, audacity-macOS-3.7.1-arm64.dmg, audacity-macOS-3.7.1-x86_64.dmg, audacity-linux-3.7.1-x64-22.04.AppImage, audacity-linux-3.7.1-x64-20.04.AppImage, and audacity-win-3.7.1-64bit.zip, plus 375 additional entries. File extensions indicate EXE, DMG, APPIMAGE, ZIP, TAR.GZ, TXT, TAR.XZ, and TAR.BZ2 packaging, which matters because an installer, compressed archive, and platform-specific image are not interchangeable even when they share a version number.

  • Archived versions: 3.7.1, 3.7.0, 3.6.4, 3.6.3, 3.6.2, 3.6.1, 3.6.0, 3.5.1, 3.5.0, and 3.4.2, plus 37 additional entries.
  • Recorded platforms: Windows 64-bit Installer, Windows 32-bit Installer, macOS DMG for all macs, macOS DMG for Apple Silicon, macOS DMG for Intel Macs, Linux AppImage, Windows 64-bit Zip, and Windows 32-bit Zip, plus 35 additional entries.
  • Package formats: EXE, DMG, APPIMAGE, ZIP, TAR.GZ, TXT, TAR.XZ, and TAR.BZ2.
  • Stored package records: 383; records with checksums: 399.

Working With Archived Audacity Releases

An older Audacity release may be relevant when maintaining a legacy system, reproducing a historical workflow, testing an upgrade path, or confirming which build produced an existing file or configuration. Those are compatibility and documentation cases, not evidence that an older build is generally preferable.

Archived software should be treated as compatibility material. Confirm why the old release is needed, preserve a rollback path, and avoid using it with important data until its behavior has been tested in the intended environment.

Package and Platform Compatibility

Platform coverage in this archive includes Windows 64-bit Installer, Windows 32-bit Installer, macOS DMG for all macs, macOS DMG for Apple Silicon, macOS DMG for Intel Macs, Linux AppImage, Windows 64-bit Zip, and Windows 32-bit Zip, plus 35 additional entries. That information should be read together with each filename, especially where the inventory contains both installers and portable or compressed distributions.

This inventory uses EXE, DMG, APPIMAGE, ZIP, TAR.GZ, TXT, TAR.XZ, and TAR.BZ2 package formats. Retaining the full filename is useful because version, architecture, language, and packaging clues are often encoded there even when the visible release label is brief.

Checksums and File Identification

399 of the 383 archived package records include stored checksum data. The recorded algorithms are MD5, SHA1, and SHA256, allowing a retained file to be compared with the historical inventory before it is used.

Stored hashes are most useful as part of a broader audit trail. Keep the version, filename, package format, source context, and calculated digest together so the historical record can be reproduced.

Choosing Between Old and Current Versions

For comparison, the main page currently records 3.7.8; this page retains 3.7.1, 3.7.0, 3.6.4, 3.6.3, 3.6.2, 3.6.1, 3.6.0, 3.5.1, 3.5.0, and 3.4.2, plus 37 additional entries. Use the current page for the present package set and this archive only when an exact older release is required.

The latest Audacity package page should be the default reference for new installations. Keep an older package for controlled compatibility work, and document the reason for retaining it.
