Are you looking for a super quick way to merge multiple MP3 files into one big MP3 file? This can be done using the CAT (concatenate) command in Mac OS X. I mean, sure, you could load all the MP3’s back-to-back into a track in GarageBand and then export to a new MP3 file, but who has time for that?

I wanted to figure out how to do this so that I could quickly assemble a brief podcast. I wanted to record my one-take stream of consciousness podcast using a program called Simple Recorder, save the file, then merge it with a preexisting MP3 file that contained the canned podcast introduction. That way, I never have to open GarageBand or any other multi-track audio software. It’s quick. It’s painless. It works (usually).

I have to warn you that the method I’m about to show you is probably not the safest way to merge MP3 files. But, if the files are recorded in the same bitrate, and they are playable in iTunes, then this method should work in most cases.

Using the CAT command you can join two or more MP3 files. For both methods below, we will assume there are three MP3 files in the current directory of the Terminal prompt. They are named file1.mp3, file2.mp3, and file3.mp3.

METHOD 1: Merge Two Or More MP3 Files

How To Merge Songs All Together

cat file1.mp3 > newfile.mp3
cat file2.mp3 >> newfile.mp3
cat file3.mp3 >> newfile.mp3

METHOD 2: Merge Two Or More MP3 Files

cat file1.mp3 file2.mp3 file3.mp3 > newfile.mp3

Simple, right? As long as all the MP3 files are recorded at the same bitrate, it should just work.

By the way, you can also use the CAT command to merge other types of files. The most obvious would be text files, but you can also merge QuickTime MOV files (although I’ve never tested this).

This tutorial will explain how to join two or more MP3 files together into one (longer) MP3 – using completely free, open source software.

The screenshots in this guide are from a Windows 10 PC. However, the software used in this guide is available to Windows, macOS and Linux users – so even if you’re not using Windows you’ll have no trouble at all following along as the steps and images are nearly identical.

1. Start by downloading and installing Audacity. Audacity is a well known, highly regarded, free and open source audio editor for Windows, macOS and Linux.
2. Once the installation has completed, launch Audacity and select File and then Open…
3. Navigate to the MP3 files you want to combine. Select both files by clicking each one while holding down the CTRL key (macOS users hold the Apple key), and then click the Open button.
4. Each file will now be imported into Audacity.
5. Once the importing has finished, you’ll have two Audacity windows open – one for each file.
6. Choose the track you want to be first in the final, combined file. Click Select and then All
7. Now click Edit and then Copy
8. Bring the other Audacity window to the foreground, select Edit and then Paste
9. You should now have a screen similar to the image below. Use the horizontal slider to scroll through the “timeline” of your newly created file. In all likelihood you’ll be able to tell where to two files are joined.
10. You can use the Play button to hear how the entire ‘combined’ MP3 will sound.
11. Now it’s time to save the combined files into one. Select File, then Export and finally Export As MP3
12. Give your new MP3 a name and choose a location to save it.
13. In the Format Options section, select the Quality pull-down menu. Choose from one of the available presets – the Insane option will provide you with the highest audio quality, and the largest file size. The Medium option will encode the file at the lowest audio quality and the smallest file size (although it’s still completely listenable, this one is best suited for spoken word audio tracks). When you’ve made your selection, click the Save button.
14. Now you can enter the metadata for your file, if you wish. Click OK when you’re done.
15. Audacity will now join the MP3 files and encode them together into one MP3, which probably won’t take very long.
16. That’s it! Give your newly created MP3 file a listen to make sure it all went smoothly. You’re done :)
