What a pity that I have not used naudio library. But I usually merge videos or audios using Joyoshare Video Joiner. Because it supports various media formats and merging videos/audios in the same format losslessly and seamlessly. What's more, it can allow me to cut and edit my files, which satisfies me well.

I don't have any idea why I couldn't install NAudio package on my C# project. I faced with this error:
"Could not install package 'NAudio.Core 2.0.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework..."
Do you know what is the proper version of .NetFramework for this package?
Thank you in advance.

@ShiliSaghi When I created this app, the version I used for .Net was 4.6.1. See here - https://github.com/gautamdhameja/mtf-mashup/blob/master/src/mashup/mtf-mashup.api/mtf-mashup.api.csproj#L18
The NAudio version I was using was 1.8.3 - https://github.com/gautamdhameja/mtf-mashup/blob/master/src/mashup/mtf-mashup.api/mtf-mashup.api.csproj#L95

Also, here if the full code available for reference - https://github.com/gautamdhameja/mtf-mashup/tree/master/src/mashup
Hope this helps.
