can mp3 files be joined together into one mp3 file?

[glen]

How?

 

[Spooner]

get an mp3 editing software, like GoldWave and cut and paste them together

 

[glen]

Will the free version work for this?

 

[boyRacer]

doesn't nero have a wave editor already? i know it probably sucks compared to goldwave... but hey if you already have it on your comp might as well use it...

it will, but once the trial expires, you keep very annoying pop-up windows every 3 seconds or so

 

[glen]

Does it convert to wave and back for this function, or can it manipulate them completely in mp3 format, so I do not loose any sound quality?

From a DOS Prompt:

copy /b file1.mp3+file2.mp3 file3.mp3

Sweet, and the last one is the new file name for the combined file?
...uh, how do I get a DOS promt in WindowsXP?

Sheesh - kids these days!
Just get Goldwave and find the crack at astalavista.com

I'd edit your post if I were you.

same, the .com is wrong...

I have lots of files to join.
I am hoping for a small free software rather than working from the DOS prompt.
Thanks.

DOS won't seem to all me to join multiple file together, just 2.

Write yourself a script to do it.

If your files are consecutively named it shouldn't be too difficult.
