Anyone have a Shell Script to join m4a tracks?

[Gavin]

there is a tool called mpgjoin

part of mpgtx

you can get mpgtx here:
http://mpgtx.sourceforge.net/


A script would be something like this:

mpgjoin *.m4a -o big-new.m4a

Thanks Gavin. Do I have to build this from the source? I only see a Linux and Windows version.

[Gavin]

I'd guess yes. You may be able to get it with fink but compiling it yourself isn't hard.

for most things it's basically this:

cd /path/to/source/code/folder
./configure
make
sudo make install


You could check version tracker, maybe someone has an installer.

you could use 'cat'

Code:
cat track1 >> track2

will append track1 to the end of track2
be sure to use '>>' NOT '>'.
'>>' means append
'>' means overwrite

[Gavin]

cat works but it can leave you with glitchy breaks, depending on the files you are combining.
