How do I merge several MP3s in Audacity, that makes them into 1 MP3??? I tried importing, but they just made separate timelines??? I am new to the program, so please be detailed.

Thanks

Use the "Time Shift" tool (double headed arrow <-->) to drag each track left/right so that they are in the correct order.
Optional: you could also create a cross-fade from one track to the next by using the Fade-in/Fade-out effect on the ends of the tracks, then overlap the tracks a bit like this:

Export the finished project to create a new audio file (WAV or MP3).

Thanks for the fast answer. Now how do I edit multiple and export as MP3 without merging any together??

I'm not sure that I understand your question.
If you don't want to merge them, just edit them one at a time :?
