Re: audacity freezes during export to mp3 or wav
We've seen a handful of reports like this, but we've not been able to reproduce the problem.
How big was the project that you were saving?
Was it a recording, or imported file(s)?
Where were you exporting it to? (drive and path)
What was the file name?
Does the problem occur if you record something rather than importing a file?

Is the problem repeatable for you with other files, or just that specific one?msongs wrote:import track as a wav. export as wav. same thing program freezes.
