Multi track freezing during playback

[Gale Andrews]

Ok, so I installed the free version on Audacity for Mac (couldnt find a full version to buy, is there one for Mac?)

So there is no confusion, Audacity is always free. A paid version is someone's hack and could harm your computer. Only download Audacity from http://audacityteam.org/download/.

I set up a couple of my backing tracks and they play perfectly with no skipping or freezing...

I would not expect there to be a problem with only two tracks even if you used Windows in Boot Camp.

is there a way to set up a library using the Mac version? As it is now, each song is a separate file, which will work fine but with the other version I paid for I could put 8 songs in a row and chose which song I wanted to play.

If each file is a separate song, you can use File > Open... as I suggested. Each song then opens in its own Audacity window. So on Mac, COMMAND + TAB to switch to Audacity if necessary, then COMMAND + ` (backtick) to switch between Audacity windows.

If you do want to put each song into the same track, Edit > Select > All, then Tracks > Align Tracks > Align End to End, then Tracks > Mix and Render. If you want you can then drag-select the blue waves for each song then use COMMAND + B to label each song. Click in the label to select the song, then Press Play.
