I used to do this with cassetes but intodays world I'm out of sync Thanks for any advice 1|1|T, you'd need a music/media editing program....I havent even attempted anything like this, so I'm not familiar with say, Windows Media, etc that comes with most computers...try the help menu and see if there are any tips or instructions....|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|12:32:31|10/30/2009|

I should say it CAN be really easy... It depends on what you have on your computer... If you have a cdr ( cd drive that reads AND writes) on your computer its simple... Just load the CD into your computer and save what song you want to your "My Music" folder, rinse, repeat with all CD's... I think all newer computers have them (say in the last 3 years or so)... Once all the songs are there, you put in a blank cd and you can download them... If you are not using CD's and are getting them from the internet its the same thing... However if you are using Napster or something to that affect, it encrypts the music so if you only have the cheapest subscription it won't work without special software.

If you need really specific step by step instructions let me know and i can type 'em up for you with screen shots... :) Melissa

Download and install Audacity, a sound manipulation program.
Load Audacity.
Open the songs you want to combine.
Select (highlight) the waves you see in the second song.
Go to Edit - Copy (or press CTRL-C)
Position your cursor after the waves you see in the first song.

Pasted.Go to "Edit - Paste" (or press CTRL-V)
Go to "File - Export as MP3".
Fill in the fields (this is optional).
Wait until it is complete.

Rinse, Repeat
