Default Concatenating mp3 files

Dieter Britz writes:

I use Audacity and want to concatenate mp3 files with it.
There are instructions for that - import the (e.g. two)
files, click on the second, CTRL C, go to the end of file 1
and CTRL V, and export that. Even when I wipe the second
before exporting the concatenated top one, it turns out too
big. E.g. file 1, 12 Mb, file 2, 4 Mb, but the result is 22 Mb.

What am I doing wrong, or how should I do it?


It may be some of the (re)encoding parameters you are using
in Audacity are not as lax as the originally-encoded files.
