Did previous versions of Audition work OK before? You will need to find out what is causing Audition to stall on opening .mp3 files. Does it open ordinary .wav files OK? To do this you need to count this as a crash and follow the FAQ Audition Crashed.  Now what?  to get the details to the Audition development team. They should be able to diagnose the hold up from the log files.
