How to Compile a Mixed Tape From MP3 Files

Technology and Gadget

At one point in time mixed tapes were all the rage, and people would rip songs from various tapes and compile them into a single tap. Nowadays tapes are pretty much gone, but the idea of compiling playlists remains and you can actually create a mixed tape MP3 of your very own from individual songs.

The only things that you need to make this happen are the songs themselves as well as the right software. If you want you can select songs that thematically and stylistically fit with one another, or you can simply throw on whatever you feel like its honestly up to you.

When it comes to software however, you should definitely use Movavi Video Editor. It will let you merge MP3 files (or songs of any other format) easily, and more importantly will also open up other possibilities.

To create the song compilation, all you need to do is:

1. Add the songs that you want to include by clicking Add Media Files and selecting them.
2. Drag the songs around in the Timeline (where they will appear automatically once added) until they appear in the sequence that you want them to be in.
3. Click Export to save your compilation in an audio format of your choosing.

If you would like to improve upon your compilation even further, you can use the features of Movavi Video Editor to cut out any unnecessary segments from your songs, add fade in and fade out sound effects, and much more. In most cases it will just take you a few clicks to apply these features.

One other interesting possibility that you may want to consider is adding video to your mixed tape turning it into a music video of sorts. That is where you can really start to tap into the potential of Movavi Video Editor, and use it to cut and combine video segments, enhance the video quality, apply special effects and filters, insert customizable text, and add stylish animated transitions.

Take things one step at a time, and begin by compiling your very own mixed tape MP3. Once youve done that, you can then start to think about what else you want to do and how you want to improve upon it. Having Movavi Video Editor will mean that you have no shortage of options, and you can pick and choose what youd like to do at your leisure.
