need some help, looking for some type of MP3 mixer/recorder program

[kemystery]

got conned into providing music for a post Halloween Party (2nd Chance?) coming up this and I d'led plenty of tunes but want to mix the dead spots out

- Is there a freeware type program that will let me

A) remix the several tracks of music into a wma./MP3 type file and play it that way

B)mix the music 'live' from 2 media players

sorry If this is the wrong forum, mods plz move/ban appropriately. I did actually google many forums and sites that seem to offer what I'm looking for for free or cheap- I was hoping some poster might be able to help me out in selecting a program that is simple and suits my needs.

any help is greatly appreciated, party is on Sat so I have some time work w/ the software

use Audacity ... it's a free program and it allows you to encode mp3 for free

[kemystery]

thank you for the suggestion, d'led it but am having trouble using it for what I wish to do (i.e. creating one long dance mix with no dead space)

anything simpler?

[goldtoes]

i don't know about any simpler one-shot programs...

but i have done this in the past:

i used a program called "MP3 Multiplexer" to combine as many songs as you want into one large MP3.

then take that MP3 into "Audacity" and cutting out the parts you don't want, etc.

try that...the MP3 Multiplexer program is shareware also!

kemystery, I don't know of any freeware programs but Ableton Live and Traktor are very good "pro" applications for what you are trying to do. There is another I used to use a long time ago but forget the name dammit.

I also heard of a program called Virtual DJ but haven't used it.
