Need help with Quicktime applescript to join mp3 files

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Well I’m in the need of a script that will take a folder of mp3 files and merge them into one file. I can open each mp3 file and copy and paste them into a new document, but this is actually something that I’d like to do on a regular basis. Can anyone help me with this as this looks to be a bit over my head. :wink:

Easier and faster than QT, you can use the command-line utility “mp3wrap”: http://mp3wrap.sourceforge.net/

Eg:

do shell script "/path/to/mp3wrap outputfile.mp3 file1.mp3 file2.mp3 file3.mp3"

I downloaded and compiled it some time ago (Linux source) and it works fine here…

jj,

Thanks for the pointer to mp3wrap as that looks like a fine solution. I’ll give it a whirl and see if iTunes can handle the “wrapped” files.
