Audacity officially dropped support for Windows XP with version 2.1.3, but I personally use Audacity and I found out that the latest version can be compiled to run on XP.

I don't know whether it's gonna be useful to anyone or not, but I'm gonna share it anyway.

The official Audacity Source Code on Github: https://github.com/audacity/audacity

Sorry if I didn't update it before; I could come up with an excuse, but deep inside we all know I'm lazy...
