I actually don't know what would happen if you concatenated even MP3s with the ID3 tags that are stored at the end... I know with some DivX files at least you could approximate this by running a separate program on them that would recreate whatever index it needed. (At least, you could recreate the index for files that cut off early, I guess it could figure out what to do if it found a second index halfway through the file.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
