How come I talk about it? Simple, because among its many features there is also one that allows you to merge the converted files into a single output file: this means that you can “feed” two or more MP3s and get a single MP3 output. All in a few clicks. Comfortable, right? So do not waste any more time and try it now!
To download fre: ac on your computer, connected to its official website using the link I have just provided you and, if you use a Windows PC, click on the freac-xx.exe link located under the first Windows flag, while if you use a Mac click on the link freac-xx-alpha-xx-macosx.dmg which is located under the black “X” icon.
