    With the CD in view, and the tracks in ascending order, select two or more tracks. Click Options near the top right. Join CD Tracks is the last entry.

    This did not solve my problem with an audiobook.

    Are these audiobooks on a CD, or are they digital files, or have you already imported them into iTunes?

    It might help if you go into a little more detail, but in the meantime see Audiobooks on iPods for some tips.

    I am having the same problem with joining tracks when importing a new continuous mix CD on my windows 7 machine with iTunes 12. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling i Tunes – didn’t work. I put in an old CD which I previously had joined tracks on in iTunes 11. It showed as being joined in iTunes 12 since I still had it my music library. However, when I unjoined the tracks I couldn’t re-join them because the join option was not available. In other words, unjoin option available but join option not.

    Join option works with both CD’s using iTunes 12 on my iMac.

    Hi TT2 - glad it's working for you. I'm a dj who records live sets on a stand alone hard drive recorder. I track those sets live, burn onto a cd and, for various purposes need to create a single file of my set. I've been doing this for many years and know how to join tracks. For some reason this new iTunes update is not allowing me to do that. As I stated above, I can un-join tracks from previously imported CD's, but can not rejoin them. Newly recorded cd's have no join option at all. The join option is simply not available for me on my windows 7 machine, unlike my iMac which has the same version of iTunes. I'm posting in the hope that others have come across this problem,too, and have figured out a solution.

    Just checking that you have the left-most column selected for sorting. I had a look after I'd posted and sorting on Album for example, which has the same order, won't allow the Join CD Tracks option to appear.

     

    BTW I'm running 64-bit Windows 7.

    Hi again tt2,

    I've actually had the sort problem once before - so valuable advice. Turns out that another reinstall of iTunes solved the problem. I rebooted after both uninstall and reinstall even though it was not prompted.

     

    Thanks for input,

    This is an audio CD. ( OS 10.10, iTunes 12, Macbook Pro) I had no problem importing with iTunes 11. I reinstalled iTunes 12 and that did not solve the issue.

    Hooray I finally found a solution to join CD tracks for audio books in itunes 12.

    It took a lot of exerimenting and reading forums but this is what works for me.

     

    1) Insert disk (obviously)

    2) Click on Edit and select select all

    3) At this point be sure the CD is not already downloading.  If it is click the X on the "Importing" bar to stop the import

    4) Click twice on the blank task bar above the track numbers.  (left of Name).  You need to click twice so that the track numbers are numerical low to high.

    5) Go to the Options toggle to the far right on task bar. Click to open and the Join CD Tracks will be listed!

    6)  Click on Import CD

     

    and voila it works

    That used to be the case, but it's no longer there. Worked fine last week, now suddenly it doesn't even show up under options. If iTunes is corrupted somehow, how can I fix this??

    I do audiobooks all the time on iTunes and join the cd tracks as mentioned under other posts. Have been for years. But suddenly for no apparent reason the "join cd tracks" normally under "option" at upper right is just vanished. Please help!
