OK, I figured out how to get to ~/Library/Application Support/audacity using GO > - but the audacity.cfg file can not be opened by any of my apps. I was told to delete the audacity-lock-user name-whatever - nothing seems to work - BIG sigh !

Thanks for the tips - but I just now searched on "library" using Spotlight. There were 5 "library" folder matches but no ~library. What's next? How do I get to "~" ?

In Finder, Go > Go to Folder – do not understand (I’ve used Macs for about 28 years) #2 “Audacity is already running error and no lock” There IS a /...

Audacity 2.1.3.0 for Mac, OS X 10.4 or later I was doing a "normalize" on a recently digitized LP album. The rotating beachball appeared and stayed for at least 20 minutes. The ESC button didn't work so I re-started. When I attempted to start Audacity I got a message stating : "Audacity is already r...

It worked ! - I've used Macs for over 25 years and never noticed "GO" in the top menu. Thank You so much ! / dave
