Think MP3 last - if that is how you want to listen to them. You are
talking about a several step process - since blending 2 streams of audio
live (in a computer) is a bit tricky. One method - which will allow for
a huge amount a flexibility - is buy ACID from Sonic Foundry (who make
Sound Forge).

Record your audio segments - make them into loopable segments - then you
can mix to you hearts content in ACID. Fades, EQs, Filter effects, etc.
But then again - you'll want to get some of the Plug-Ins to make it real
fun. The audio doensn't need to be in loops - you can mix between
"one-Shot" audio files and loops. The number of tracks you can have is
dependent on you CPU and RAM. I have one tune in ACID that has around 40
tracks (granted the tacks each contain small samples instead of a full
song).

Once you are done with the mix - you can use a MP3 encoder to convert
the audio to that format - or even keep it in audio (stereo) and burn it
to CD.

Enjoy.
