Mixing two songs together is an art, which allows the songs to transition from one to another with no audible pause. This effect is often used in dance music. You can edit the songs in a playlist using the music software iTunes so that they are mixed together in the same way a DJ would do it. This can be a great effect for parties when you just want to leave the music playing.
