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

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.
