Title: Merging MP3s.
Post by: major tom on January 09, 2008, 08:24:12 PM
Anyone know an easy way to merge two MP3 files? It'd be a great thing. I got '(Oh) Pretty Woman' by Van Halen, which always gets played on the radio with the instrumental intro 'Intruder', and this intro is even featured in the music video of this song. It'd just be convenient to have them as one file.

So anyone know how I can easily do this on Windows XP?

Get Audacity

Learn to use it.

That's all I can really say.

Ummm...

Just google Audacity, it should be the first result.

And I'm not entirely sure how to actually do it, I just know you can do a crapload with it.

As far as I know, which isn't much, you can...

Generate Sounds
Record sounds
Combine Sounds
Add effects to sounds


Much more than that, but I only know how to do the first two >_<

I'll consider that, but first I want to know if there's another way.

You're going to have to use some music editing software.

Ummm.

Move TO the start point of a song, or move the start point itself?

You might have to generate silence and put it in there...

I figured it out, thanks.

Wait... how do I save it as an MP3?
