What software can I use to combine many MP3 files into 1 large MP3 file?

As title really, under windows I used to resort to DOS commands, basically I stripped the tags then just joined the files....

Is there a more elegant and easier way under OSX?

What about GarageBand?

I have not got it installed, but I'll install it and try it out/

Audacity should be able to do this quite easily.

Although I am curious as to why you would want to do this?

I'll give audacity a go also, but I don't really want to reencode the file if I can help it!

I bought this CD: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fabriclive-47-Toddla-T/dp/B001VLP610

And it's a mix CD, and I've got an headunit in my car which plays mp3's, but it puts a 2 second gap between each track. This cd is a mix cd, and the 2 second gaps spoils the whole flow of the mix... If I can just have 1 big mp3 then it sounds much better, no gaps!

I think I may resort to Terminal, does anyone know of a utility which strips tags from MP3's?

Thanks all, I re-ripped to WAV in the end, then used Audacity to put all the WAV's together, then just saved as an MP3. Worked a treat.
