Hi Jonathan,
You are lucky then. I know a couple of fellow podcasters who gave it up
because it was too flakey. Free is good when it works.
And yes, I always have drivers that are up to date.
All the best
Steve

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unstable alpha, or your PC has incorrect or outdated drivers.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).

I'm glad Audacity works well on the Mac, as the PC version is utter junk.
It crashed all over the place when I tried it. Goldwave wins here.

You are in luck! Not just equivalent, but almost certainly superior - and
free, and very well supported for blind users (see my previous post on
this).
