Does anyone know of a Windoze program that will join like that?


Yes. To join MP3 files together, you simply concatenate them using the DOS copy command.

Here is how to do it.

1. STRIP COMPLETELY all tags from all files. Don't just turn the tags into spaces, you must strip the tags. In Winamp, this is done by unchecking the boxes on the tag-editing screen so that all fields turn gray, then applying that change to the file. Or you could use MP3 tag studio's feature for stripping tags.

2. Name the files something simple and easy so that it's easy to put them on the command line in order. For example "01.mp3", "02.mp3" etc.

3. Put all the files in the same folder.

4. Get a DOS prompt going in that folder.

5. copy /B 01.mp3 + 02.mp3 + 03.mp3 + 04.mp3 + 05.mp3 finishedfile.mp3

(The /B on the copy command is critical.)

6. If the original files were constant-bit-rate files, you're done. If the files were variable-bit-rate files, you must now use a VBR repair tool upon the finished file so that it time-indexes properly.

7. Check and tag the finished file.
