Default Cool Edit Pro licensing

This is a spin-off from an earlier thread in which Graham posted the
following link:

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multime...Edit-Pro.shtml

This link points to a download of the original Syntrillium Cool Edit Pro
audio editing program as it was before Syntrillium was acquired by Adobe
Systems in 2003. It is a 21 day trial version requiring a license for full
activation. Adobe appear to be trying to charge $299 for a full license
which (from memory) is substantially more that Syntrillium used to charge.

Does anybody know how I can get a license for this program at a sensible
price? I have been a licensed user of Cool Edit 2000 for many years.

I know Adobe are offering their version called Adobe Audition but this is
a horrible bloated program which has eliminated all the simple elegance of
the original Syntrillium product.

I recall that an early "evaluation" copy of Syntrillium was distributed
on computer magazine cover-disks. It had all of the features of
the licenced product, but you had to choose which features you
wanted active each time you started the programme.
