isPermaLink="false">http://www.ghacks.net/?p=8351#comment-1319450</guid> <description>This is definitely the easiest way, but as Dan explains it doesn&#039;t produce a &quot;clean&quot; file because it joins all the ID3 tags together inside the MP3 data. It makes files that will have the wrong song length in iTunes and iPod, and seeking to a different point in the song won&#039;t work. Plus, your file will have the ID3v1 tag of the last file you join but the ID3v2 tag of the first file you join! (because ID3v1 tags go at the end of files)
Here&#039;s a better explanation, that also goes over a better method:

Something else to check out is Merge MP3, which is a Windows GUI to do the same thing.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is definitely the easiest way, but as Dan explains it doesn&#8217;t produce a &#8220;clean&#8221; file because it joins all the ID3 tags together inside the MP3 data.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.ghacks.net/?p=8351#comment-545242</guid> <description>I&#039;d also mention that using &quot;copy /b&quot; isn&#039;t a good practice as it merges the ID3 information along with the rest of the MP3 audio data.  This means the MP3 player has bad (non-audio) data included in the audio stream.  Depending on the software/firmware reading the file this may or may not be a problem during playback.
Unfortunately this is also the fastest way I know to merge mp3 files.
A good practice is to make a copy of the MP3s you want to merge in a separate folder then use ID3remover to strip the ID3 information.
Another trick which is especially handy with multi-CD audiobooks is to put the MP3&#039;s for each disk into subfolders of an otherwise empty folder (i.e., Windows InternalsWindows Internals CD1, Windows InternalsWindows Internals CD2).  The files should have the track number listed first so they sort in the order they should be played.  At that point execute the following command within the root folder:
for /f &quot;delims==&quot; %A in (&#039;dir /ad /b&#039;) do copy /b &quot;%A*.mp3&quot; &quot;%A.mp3&quot;
Presto, one MP3 file per folder.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;d also mention that using &#8220;copy /b&#8221; isn&#8217;t a good practice as it merges the ID3 information along with the rest of the MP3 audio data.
