Hi Andrew,
concerning the None option. This removes the solo buttons from the tracks,
so they can no longer be clicked using a mouse. Unfortunately the code
still accepts keystrokes to change whether a track is soloed, and for
keyboard users, the None option ends up being incorrectly the same as
Multi-track.

Just to add some complication to your lives:
As has been discussed, you can either mute tracks you do not want to hear
or solo the one you want to hear. The choice depends what is most
convenient in the current situation. But here is the complication or, put
better, another option.
In Audacity Preferences under Track Behaviours you can choose solo to be
simple, multi-track or none. Simple is straight forward. Only one track
can be soloed at once. If you choose multi-track, any number of tracks can
be soloed. I usually use Simple, but in a recent project found Multi-Track
to be useful.
Then there is the None option. One would think that it precludes soloing,
but it does not. I suspect there is a subtle difference between Simple and
None, but have not discovered it yet.

That should work, I use that technique every day.

I select the tracks that I don’t want to hear and from the track menu, I
mute them. There’s probably a more efficient way to do it, but that’s how I
do it.

I tried this, the track doesn't play. I can only get audio to play if
everything is unsoloed, so assumed that there was something else I had to
do.

Not sure if my email came through, but say you have 2 tracks, and you want
to play the second track, but not the first, how to do that?
Thanks.
