Hello all,
I am a little confused and admittedly I have not read this thread from the beginning, but by merge I understand putting a sound on top of another, in the case of Voice Over by ducking the underlying sound, otherwise not, but by joining I understand putting one sound after another, even in a chain of different sounds, each in its own file.
If the latter, it is very easy to do from the command line without any loss of quality. Suppose you have the folder c:\ebook1\ and in it you have many files, named 01.mp3, 02.mp3 and so on ad infinitum. In that case:
Windows-R opens the Run menu
Cmd and Enter, then type:
Copy /b c:\book1\*.mp3 c:\book1.mp3
There you will have all the MP3 files of the book joined into a single file without loss of quality.
The /b switch will make it a binary copy.
HTH,
Humberto

That's a new one on me. MP3Mate's strong suit is that when merging files, it does not re-encode them.

I don't think I'll bother getting another program just to merge files
if I can do it easily with GoldWave without having to buy it.

If you're looking for a merge-split program, MP3Mate is a good choice.

Thanks Steve,
That's pretty much it, although I guess I should have added that I
also need to merge files once per month. I don't really need anything
else to do that though because I do use GoldWave for that and it's
very easy.

If that's so, then yes, MP3DC is a perfect fit. I guess I got stuck on
the word "editor".

I respectfully must disagree; MP3 direct Cut is a good program!
Certainly
it may be that Goldwave can do more things, but if I understood the
original
post correctly, he wants to cut things from files and adjust volume
(MP3
does what is required here and you've gotta love the price!

Greetings,
From his undoubted fount of knowledge, (and I've known Steve for a
few years
now) Steve Matzura wrote:

with GW if you want to do anything fancier than simply clipping out
portions of MP3's. I know it's a little tedious to learn, but once
you do,
you'll rule your audio editing world.
Steve, fully agreed, but as for tedius, I disagree, I found it easy
even
though it does not fully follow all the windows conventions, then
again,
neither do any of the other audio-processing programs at which I have
looked. For instance Winamp, even those produced by MicroSoft such
as Media
Player, don't fully follow the windows conventions.
