Did you try a clean Windows start? Shift+Shutdown > Wait > Start and make sure nothing else starts. Maybe you're trying to simplify a problem that isn't simple.

Use the name of the song or music and search your machine for the accompanying AUP file. This is a complete Audacity Project. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MyMusicAUP-MyMusic_DATA.jpg The AUP is the instructions for Audacity to put your show together from all that stuff in the _DATA folder...
