You must have done this once already to create a default template, so you just need to do it again to set a different default template.

1) Open the Metadata Editor and enter the information that you want in your default template.
2) Click "Set Default"
3) Click OK.

Roughly how long are those gaps? 1 second? 0.1 seconds? 10 seconds?
Is there any regularity to when they occur?
Are you listening to the radio stream during the recording? If so, is the sound continuous while you listen?

"I may trash the old file, shall I make a copy of it and open the copy?" The problem is that the 1.2.x project may include invalid data. If it does then if Audacity attempts to make a copy of the project the copy may be corrupted further and be totally useless. The safest approach is to m...

This will stop the playback with the cursor at the place that playback ...

It was the announcement of the end of XP (back in 2008) that prompted me to switch to Linux (and having seen and used later versions of Windows it's a move that I've not regretted).

Perhaps we can find the cause by approaching it from the opposite direction. With that 16 track project, how much can you remove without fixing the problem? Does it always lock up in the same place? If it does, can you delete audio from before the lock up position and still have Audacity freeze? Can...

No I don't think that linear fades should be replaced. I think they are such a basic and essential part of any audio editor that they will always be needed. I'd be more than happy to replace cross-fade in and cross-fade out, not least because the name suggests that they do something quite different ...
