The reason I suggested Audacity over Goldwave is that the person asked for
something that would work on their Mac.
Goldwave does not.
However, although it does not have the blind user base that Audacity has,
they are making good progress by seeking feedback and input from blind
users:
http://blindaccessjournal.com/?p=725 which seems a bit flaky right now but
leads to the contact form at http://www.goldwave.com/contact.php
There is also a podcast on using Goldwave at
http://www.blind-geek-zone.net/audio.htm#Goldwave
As far as it Audacity crashing, I suggest you may have tried either an
unstable alpha, or your PC has incorrect or outdated drivers.
Only one version ever crashed on me, that was an alpha of 1.3.7 (years old
now) downmixing stereo to mono.
I've been using audacity on a thrice weekly basis for a couple of years now
to batch sample tapes, clean the audio then export as tracks and never had a
wobble (apart from that one downmix bug).
