Well, in that case I suggest doing something along the lines of what other people have offered: sending press kits to audio magazines. Furthermore, you should definitely include a demo version of the software, and possibly even a full version.
The particular benefit to this strategy lies in the fact that if you manage to get a review in a magazine like Electronic Musician, Tape Op, or EQ, then you expose yr product to a reader base that not only bears a potential interest in the product, but also holds a track record of paying for software. Additionally, a review is cheaper than an ad and holds a higher value in the eyes of consumers.
As far as I can tell from the OP, you can't actually edit audio with this, only the image that represents the spectral content of a piece of audio. Now, if the program could do as you're describing, it would be pretty novel.
Why would anyone want to edit a spectrogram? I can only imagine nefarious uses-- essentially forging the spectral information from a sound sample. Why would you want a spectrogram to display information other than what the spectrograph analyzed unless it was for a visually artistic purpose (in which case, there are plenty of graphic editors out there already)?
Somebody please tell me I'm wrong and there's some perfectly innocuous purpose that I'm missing...
I just got one yesterday, in the middle of simply typing some text into a web form while the Add/Remove Programs list was populating. I can see how that *may* have been a *little* stressful on the system, but a BSOD? Come on, MS.
Actually, it's more like failed business models than a failed industry. There are a number of independent labels that have adjusted and are doing just fine (or at least they were before the recession hit).

You mean like a solo button on a console? I don't see how this can do that...

Actually, the parent post contained a simile that compared software to math, not a metaphor.
