Good Music Editor?

[ZeptOr]

I am looking for a good, free or very cheap music editor. I want to get 5-7 different songs and combine them into one song with nice transitions and simple effects. I tried After Effects because I already have it but whenever I render the final mp3, it turns out a bit jumpy. So, any recommendations?

Id suggest wavelab 6 made by steinberg but it might be a bit pricey so heres a few free download sites for you to look at:

Yes, I would highly recommend Audacity, which link is in Trixter's post. I use it for whenever I make ringtones. You can add fade add the beginning or end and it's really cool.
