Applying an Fade-Out Effect to MP3 Using Audacity

When you download MP3's from the Internet, you occasionally get music files that have abrupt ending. These files occur because of incomplete downloads or CD's that have a track fading into another. In this case, you can use Audacity to fix the problematic music file. The following steps show how to apply an fade-out effect to such MP3 files that have abrupt ending.

Open the File menu and select Open... to open the audio file you want to work on. Audacity will display a popup window showing the progress of converting an MP3 to a wave file.

Once the conversion is done, click Zoom In multiple times until the units are in seconds. Select about 3 seconds at the end of the file.

Open the Effect menu and select Fade Out. Test the modified sound by clicking the Play button.

Save it back to an MP3 file. Open the File menu and select Export as MP3.
