Text files would work. I have concatinated .mp3 ifles before, but wrote a batch file to do it under DOS, or the CMD command interpreter at least.

Or a downloaded audio file? I have an audio file of a book that was separated by chapter. It came to me as a zip file. Can I somehow merge those files into a folder to save to my desktop? I need to use this book in order to study for some advancement in my job.

Each rtf file is going to have header and footer info and the concatenation of all of them might not be valid. You might be able to use the cat command to concatenate all the files, open the resulting file with textedit and then save it wiping out the redundant header/footer info. Maybe. > On 03/26/2015 08:35 AM, Phil Halton wrote: > I have a folder containing around 120 .rtf files and I want to concatenate > them into one large file.
