Zero-cost solutions recommended here: software included with your computer (providing basic functionality, sufficient for Music 666), or open source tools (which can be quite sophisticated).

Audio

Audacity, super open source and cross-platform (mac and win) audio editor. Get to know it. Another open source tool is Ardour.

For analysis, try Praat, developed for linguistics but suitable for short music segments also.

Video

Windows: Movie Maker, included with Windows up to Vista; Live Movie Maker for Windows 7. Many professional packages are available; probably Adobe's Premiere Pro (see below) is most widely used.

Mac: iMovie is simple video editing software included with every mac; suitable for presentations. Professional package for mac is Final cut pro

You can download a 30 day trial version of the industry cross-platform standard, Adobe Premiere Pro

Image

Windows and Mac operating systems provide simple image editing software, e.g. iphoto for mac. More sophisticated is the open source cross-platform project, GIMP.
