Is there a program for mixing songs??

Are there any programs for Linux (or even Windows in this case) that you can mix songs together? Thanks.

If you want to combine two or more audio files, you can issue the following command in a terminal which should combine most MP3s and WAVs.

cat file1.mp3 file2.mp3 file3.mp3 > combinedfile.mp3

for something quick and easy give Audacity a try. It is made for Linux, Windows, OSX.

If your looking for something more along the lines of professional sound studio software give Ardour a look, you can also pick up a March 2005 issue of Linux Journal for more on Ardour.

I need top quality mixes, so would Ardour be the best?

Ardour is mor of a professional recording/mixing studio that should be setup with a custom lowlatency kernel and harware tuned toward HDD recording and professional mixing.

If your trying to take two songs that are already mixed I'd say just stick with audacity since the effort to run the program is whole lot less. Audacity still does high quality work it just is not nearly as versitile and professional as ardour.

Id say start with audacity and if it doesn't do everything you want then deal with ardour.
