It sure is possible to add content. mp3 files are made up of a long sequence of frames. Each frame is (usually) a self contained unit of sound with no dependencies on the frames around it. So simply attaching an mp3 with the same bitrate onto the end of another mp3 will make a new vlid mp3 file. quick disclaimer: I don't know how to record sound on linux other than by ripping with cdparanoia. So, let's pretend you want to create a mix of a metallica track you like with a crystal method track you just love. Rip your cds with your favorite ripper - personally, I use grip with cdparanoia and lame. So now you have two mp3s: whiplash.mp3 trip_like_i_do.mp3 And I think you you combine them using cat: cat trip_like_i_do.mp3 >> whiplash.mp3 mv whiplash.mp3 whiplash_like_i_do.mp3
