Is There A Mp3 Program That Can..

Just wondering if Audacity can do this. It should, you might need the LAME MP3 encoder file though, to export the MP3 when you've finished.

not a good suggestion. as i have it installed already i had a quick try and it's not meant for this kind of task. the only way would be to open the first file. then open the 2nd file, copy/paste to end of file1 and repeat..... not ideal. it can't deal with automatically opening or importing multiple files. :)

@OP - i have no idea why the first two suggestions didn't work. why not? did you get any errors. :)

The errors that I got said something along the lines of that the program didn't have permission or something to edit the files. I have no idea why that is the case...

Because the mp3 files are mine, and haven't been gotten by unscrupulous means (thought I'd add that just to clear any niggly thoughts anywhere hehe).

It seems to be working now but in an even funnier fashion. It patches e.g. 4 segments together, but irrespective of how I lay them out in the program it does this:

Segment 1-Segment 1-Segment 3-Segment 4. Argh!
 
This definitely works -

Drop into the DOS Command Line inside the directory and type :

copy /b 1.mp3+2.mp3+3.mp3 4.mp3

(4.mp3 is obviously the result)

So in effect navigating to whatever MP3 prog one has? So in this case Audacity?

Nooooooooooooo

See that START button bottom left? - click on that and then click on RUN.
Type cmd in the box and press enter.
You will now see a black box come up which is in a 'pretend' DOS environment.
You will see c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\cd

Type cd\ and press enter

you will now be on c:\

To make things easy put your files into a directory in the root of your c:\ drive and name it MP3.
name all your files 1.mp3 2.mp3 etc just to make it easier.

Navigate into the directory by typing :
cd mp3 (and press enter)

You will now see c:\mp3

Now type :

copy /b 1.mp3+2.mp3+3.mp3 result.mp3 (or whatever)

rather than trying to traverse directories in a command prompt which can be daunting if you're unfamiliar with the command line.... copy/paste this into notepad save it as a .reg file and then double click it to import it.

Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\command]
@="Command Prompt Here"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\command\command]
@="cmd.exe /k cd \"%1\""

now you can right click any folder in explorer and open a command prompt at the right location. :)
