Someone recommended Sound Studio but when I Googled it just now, it seems to be for Mac only. why is that? Does anyone have any recommendations for a PC-compatible editing software? I want to edit some audio files (spoken word) before uploading to my website.

Also need to convert files from wav to mp3 or wma. I am such a newbie at this, I've never heard of wma before! My website host recommends converting wav files to mp3 files using "Highly rated (and free) audio file conversion software available from www.dbpoweramp.com"

Any suggestions or recommendations?

I just installed Audacity (freeware)- how does it compare to Sound Studio?

CDex is free.

Audacity works pretty well and its free. It's good enough for basic multi-track editing. It's got a few quirks that can be tricky to bypass. It can't convert files to mp3, though. The pay version of dbpoweramp can convert to mp3.
