I've only used this a couple times but I think it works: assume for simplicity that all your mp3's start with the same name, get to the command line in xp by typing cmd in the run dialog, navigate to the folder where the mp3's are stored, then type
Copy /b files*.mp3 newfile.mp3 This assumes that all the mp3's started with the word files followed by other characters. This trick works especially well with the Plextalk. In the likely event your situation with names is more complicated, you can build a command line in a text editor then paste it into the command line after the /b perameter, if you get my drift. If you don't, feel free to ask for clarification. Dean -----Original Message----- From: Brent Harding [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 16, 2006 8:55 PM To: PC audio discussion list. Subject: Re: Joining MP# Files I always used mp3 merge. Most of these such programs cost money for some reason. I'm not sure what's technically done, but it was said somewhere that DOS copy could do the trick, forget switch on the command but it involved something similar to copy 1.mp3+2.mp3 3.mp3. That would be the plus sign between each of the files to be combined and then after the space, the name of the new file, but I've had this not work and give me chipmunks at the start of the second segment of the coast to coast podcast shows when I once subscribed to that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Matzura" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Sunday, October 15, 2006 7:08 AM Subject: Joining MP# Files >I had a very nicely accessible program for doing this, and in one of > my system disk meltdowns, lost it.
