Hi! I have been recording and editing with Audacity for a few months now without any problems. I'm using the latest version on my brand new Mac. Recently, while editing and even now just trying to open a file on Audacity, everything freezes and the spinning rainbow wheel appears. I'm so frustrated as I just started my first solo work and can't get through chapter 2!
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks, Marie

I don't know this for certain, but it may be the new version of Audacity. I'm on a PC and it's not letting me export MP3 files in anything higher than 24000. Sadly I can't find an older version to check it against.

It's been happening occasionally to me. It's only been with the upgraded version of Audacity. All you can do is close the program down ... sometimes I've had to reboot the computer. But every time so far Audacity has managed to recover the interrupted sound file.

If it is the case that it's the newer Audacity, you can download Windows Audacity 2.3.3 here: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/legacy-windows/
And older Mac here: https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity-old.html (this site was a direct link from the Audacity website, so it should be safe).
