Is this in Audacity or on a CD you are intending to burn from those
recordings?
You can join the tracks in Audacity thus, as you would for imported
files:
http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_editing.html#join .
If you want separate recordings on the same track, press P to
pause after the first recording and P again to restart recording.
> 2. Is it possible to edit mp3 files?
You can import MP3 files but they are decompressed to lossless
PCM and so if you export them as MP3, they are re-encoded and
you lose quality. This link refers:
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Lame_Installation#lossy .
If you do export MP3 from Audacity you have to install the LAME
MP3 encoder:

As long as your disk space supports, but with a limit of 13.5 hours
at 44100 Hz (less time available at higher sample rates) if you
want to save these recordings as projects. Please read:
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Recording_length .

No. To record in MP3 you would want one of the direct MP3 editors
mentioned on:
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Lame_Installation#lossy .
