That is exactly how I was going to explain it. I apologize for not finishing my
instruction email, but I was being called away from the computer for the night.
I live in a nursing home and my time is not always my own. Should you need
further help, I can help you with this over Skype or phone. Sometimes audacity
is easier learned by listening to somebody perform the steps live.

Hi Ravi
As Ted suggested, put each song on a separate track. The next part of the
puzzle is to move the song on track 2 so that it starts playing a little
before the one on track 1 finishes and so on. In Audacity’s Tracks Menu
there is a submenu called Align Tracks. You want the option called Start to
Cursor/Selection Start. Here are the steps:
Select track 1, and only track 1.
Put your cursor – say – 2 seconds from the end of the song (ask if you do not
know how).
Press Enter to deselect the track.
Arrow down to track 2 and press Enter to select it.
From the Tracks Menu arrow down to Align Tracks and press Enter.
Arrow down to Start to Cursor/Selection Start and Press Enter
That will have the song on track 2 starting two seconds before the end of the
one on track 1. If you wanted to be more elegant, you could do a cross fade,
where the first song fades down and the second one fades up as they cross
over. There is a cross fade facility in the Effects Menu which works quite
well. You need to have just the cross over section of the audio on each
track selected.

Subject: [audacity4blind] Help in Overlapping songs.
Hello everyone,
Greetings!
Hope this E-mail message finds all of you well & safe.
I am Ravindran from Sri Lanka. And just joined this list.
I am Blind and using Windows 10 with NVDA & Audacity latest versions.
Appreciate if someone could guide me how to overlap songs(MP3) in Audacity.
Actually, I want as below:
Assume, there are two songs. Either as separate tracks or merged in a single
track.
When the first song finishes, before it stops playing, I want the second song
to start while the first reaching its end.
We should be able to set a time period.
And should be able to get this done for a long list of songs merged in a
single music track.
Because when we merge several songs to a single track, there are silences in
between every song. But removing the silence, makes the songs play just one
after other.
But I want the songs to overlap towards the end of each song. If required can
have them as separate tracks.
Like to create a non-stop music file.
Hope my question is clear. Any suggestion would be a great help.
Please feel free to get in touch with me should you require any further
details.
Thank you, have a pleasant day!
Ravi.
