Is there an application that can merge tracks into one big track? the "Join track" option in iTunes doesn't work, because it still keeps the same amount of tracks. I want to like convert the 7 tracks to be one big track ( i have the harry potter audiobooks and the tracks take up lots of space)

iTunes Join Tracks command does what you want. If you have 7 tracks on a CD, you'll end up with 1 track in iTunes. You're probably not doing it right. The tracks can only be joined when ripped, not after. So you need to put the CD into the computer, select the tracks, choose Join Tracks, THEN rip.

But i have a lil problem... I imported them like a month ago (and it takes forever) and i can't take them to my dad's house (long story) so is ther a way to merge a ton of tracks into one big track, to reduce the song amount in my library.

Why does the number of songs in your library matter so much?

Anyway, it sounds to me like something QuickTime Pro would work for. Just copy all the files into one big file.

Well, i hate having all these tracks that take up about 3 gigs, and about 500 songs from my 1000 song library. Now, is there an app that can do what i need??? (iTunes joins those 7 tracks, but doesn't merge them into one big track, right??) sorry if it sounds confuzzing.

So it's bad if seven files take up 3 GB, but it's okay if one file takes up the same amount of space? That's a little weird.

As I said, though, QuickTime Pro.

iTunes does join them into one large track.
