In some cases I have recorded records as two separate files, Side1.mp3 and Side2.mp3.
Now I would like to join them into one file. How do I do that with Audacity?

Re: Joining two mp3 files
1) Import the two files into Audacity.
2) "Ctrl + A" (select All)
3) Tracks menu > Align tracks end to end (the exact menu item depends on which version of Audacity)
4) Export.

That video has nothing to do with Audacity. Did you post the wrong link?
To drag an audio clip, use the Time Shift tool.

Re: Joining two mp3 files
OK, sorry. I just worked it out. I didn't at first use Select All. When I do,
end to end does shift the second one to start at the end of the first.
So all is well. Thanks.
