I have a folder containing around 120 .rtf files and I want to concatenate them

You can do what you asked with the cat command:
cat file*.rtf > bigfile.rtf
I am not sure that will give you a valid rtf file though. Each rtf file

I'm not sure what you mean by wanting to "merge those files into a

file. That's why I said, "You can do what you asked" But that might not

Most likely, if you just want to listen to a book that came to

How do you decide between speed and compression in doing zip files in OS X?

First, just try cat *>bigfile. Big file being what every you want.
That will most likely give you what you want, but you may have to do more.
Unix seems to deal with RTFs pretty well, but it’s possible that there may be
problems.

By decide do you mean how do you tell zip to compress faster or better?
If you want zip to compress faster you use -1 at the command line. To
compress better, you use -9.
If you're asking how you decide whether to use -1 or -9, it would depend
on how much disk space you have.

Yeah, a folder full of mp3 files isn't going to compress much. The xls
files will compress a lot but they probably take up very little space.
Different compression algorithms work better on different kinds of

Right. mp3 is already a compressed format which means most of the
duplicate information has already been extracted out of the file. There
won't be much, if anything, a generalized compressor can do. Only way to
make mp3s smaller is to re-encode them with lower quality (a lossy
compression).
