Hi, I have a bunch of books on CDs. I would like to rip them into an mp3 format so I can play them on my mp3 player. These books have a new track mark every 2 or 3 minutes. I know I can use programs like krabber and lame to rip the separate tracks but I would like to combine all tracks into one mp3 file rather then having 20+ tracks to worry about. Is there a way to do so? Thanks, Avi -- Avi Schwartz avi@CFFtechnologies.com "I have to share the credit.

When you have the 20 wav's, just do 'cat *.wav > all.wavs' and then when done 'mv all.wavs all.wav' and then encode it. -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A. P. J.

Have you actually tried this? I thought that .wav files had header information, meaning that you can't play for example just half a .wav. MP3s on the other hand don't (with the exception of ID3 info), so cat *.mp3 >> all.mp3 should work (and you could set the ID3 info afterwards). David A.

This didn't work for me, at least not with notlame (lame). It just stopped
after the first track in the combined wav file. Then I downloaded bladeenc
and this program has an -concat flag that allowed me to create a combined
mp3 file from multiple wav files.

I'd use XMMS' disk writer output plugin to get the 20 or so tracks into 20 or so WAV files. WAV files are pretty easy to concatenate (compared to MP3s), then you could encode the mondo WAV with lame or ogg or whatever from the command line. Heck, you could put quite a number of books on one MP3 media; voice compresses well! ;) ===== -- -=|JP|=- Hit me! - http://www.xanga.com/cowboydren/ Jon Pennington | Debian 2.3 -o) cowboydren @ yahoo . com | Auto Enthusiast /\\ Kansas City, MO, USA | ICQ UIN 69 67 29 31 _\_V __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
