add (concantentate) several files

Post by jkandreasen » Fri Oct 15, 2010 7:44 am

I have some books on cassettes that I recorded to MP3 files, a separate file for each side of the cassette.. Now I would like to make 1 large file of all sides of the cassettes. This would enable me to listen to an entire book, rather than having to search for each file.

How do I do this?

Many thanks.

Jim

The easiest, and possibly best way, is to put all of the tracks in a new folder, and also put a playlist in the folder (for example an m3u file).

One of the advantages of using playlists is that media players are usually able to skip from one track to the next (like when playing a CD). If you physically combine the tracks into one then you will not be able to skip through the tracks - you will need to "fast forward/fast back to find new tracks (like playing a cassette).
