Software to combine two mp3 files into one

[ticktock]

A senior gave me 2 sing-a-long mp3 files of 1 song being sung in 2 languages and asked me to cut half of each then combine into one new mp3 with both languages.
Is there any software could handle it? Can I use Audacity?
Thanks everyone,
Ted

If there were wav files you could probably do this easily and seamlessly  - but MP3, I doubt it.

Mp3Direct Cut (freeware) will do this for you.

Yes, you can use Audacity to merge mp3 files, Ted.

Audacity would also be my choice. I use it for all of my multitrack sound editing.

I am an Audacity Fan also. You can Google any question you have on how to do what you want to do, there are a lot of videos out there.

Wow! Thanks everyone. I never used Audacity but will try it. Never heard about the MP3Direct Cut but it seems promising. I will try it too.
Very appreciate all your help. What a great forum!

Hi Ted,

The big advantage of MP3DirectCut is that the MP3 files are processed directly here, so no decoding and re-encoding is necessary as is the case with audio/wave editors such as Audacity.


Best regards,

That's great. I like simple things. Definitely will try it.

Hi Aprilla,
The website asks to install the Wave Browser first. Is it safe?
Thanks

Take a look at the link below. I doubt you need to install it, probably 'forcing' it's way in by aggressive marketing.

It is listed here as potentially unsafe.

To be honest, I don't remember that part but I've been using it for many years and it's never given any trouble. I don't find Wave Browser in my computer though so maybe try ignoring that the first time, see how it goes.

This is another program that will split/join mp3s that I've noticed recommended but I've not used it

Just use Audacity. Do not make a "Mountain out of a Mole Hill". 2 minutes and this project is done. Super simple job here.

It's better safe than say sorry. I'll use Audacity then.
Thanks everyone. Ted 😊

AUDACITY is the one, free of course. I do this all the time.
