Hi Steve,
Thank you - you come back for me! I still have problem to combine .mid and .wav sound files. I can rename any of them to make them the same extension. So I renamed both files into .wav for my Audacity BUT it could NOT open either in .mid, .wav nor Row. BUT Row is better because I could see the wave form BUT it play very fast. I did changed for Play Speed BUT the music sound like engine noise and no rhyme or tempo. I did successfully mixed or combined two .wav sound files into one BUT most sound editors can NOT open .mid sound file. What other software you've successfully tested that open .mid file?

I still have problem to combine .mid and .wav sound files. I can rename any of them to make them the same extension. That's sort of like putting a label that says "Sugar" on the salt container. Sure makes the coffee taste miserable! The extension is a label that tells Windows and your programs what's inside the file. Changing the label won't change the contents. I suspect there's some way of using Audacity to record a wav while you play a MID file but I'm not sure what it is.

The extension is a label that tells Windows and your programs what's
inside the file. Changing the label won't change the contents. BUT try that method of renaming sound file in Microsoft Media Player (MMP) --- it play like magic! ;o) So long it is sound files and no matter what extension you've changed. So long all those extensions are inside the limit of MMP and don't worry Windows Explorer warning because you can easily change it back. I still have problem to combine .mid and .wav sound files. I can rename any of them to make them the same extension. and hope Audacity can open it BUT still Audacity _ALWAYS_ can not recognize the newly rename.wav file. I suspect there's some way of using Audacity to record a wav while you play a MID file but I'm not sure what it is. Any problems or errors can be easily duplicate to fix the culprit and when I answer the post I'm pretty sure and knew what it is. Here's my question; Why Audacity can not play ANY .mid sound files? If it does then I could convert it into .wav and paste it into my other .wav file or vice versa. Then I can declare mission accomplished BUT it's still mission impossible! Your logics are good and correct but I'm posting from reality and experience. Likewise; I'm imparting from what I knew from past experience or found tricks. Cheers & All The Best!

I applause your brilliant idea - Steve! Here how I made it works; I knew other
people are watching for my experience and they can easily duplicate to solve their own problem: 1. Audacity is good for audio editing except it cannot handle MIDI file. I still used it because it is FREE. 2. To use my MIDI sound file I Google searched: http://www.audconv.com/ 3. Convert .mid to .wav and saved it as song2.wav. 4. Using Audacity I open the two songs "song.wav" and "song2.wav" (it open in 2 separate windows). 5. Click from beginning of "song2.wav" waveform and dragged the whole wave form to make highlighted then Press Ctrl+C to Copy it or you could drag it. 6. Switch to Song.wav (my original) and click the empty waveform ending and dragged it wider. 7. Press Ctrl+V to Paste it. The added "song2.wav" expanded and the music appears very slow in Playing Speed and the Amplitude is large. You can adjust it inside Audacity by highlight the require wave form and choose actions from the Effect menu. You can also Trim both end to take out much silent moment, also to make the sound file smaller. 8. I chose to save my final song3.wav by Export As Wave options. If it is big --- you can reduce it with Audio Converter or change back to another sound extension you preferred. 9. With much enthusiasm and endless experiment you could produce your own Masterpiece. 10. I used my final song3.wav in PPT to make HTML file. It actually contained 3 combined songs with loop action.
