Combining audio files

Question

Combining audio files

Is there a way in Automator (or some other OSX app) to combine 2 or more audio files into 1? What I imagine in Automator is to set up a list of mp3, wav, aiff or other audio files, and then have the content of one audio file added to the end of the other audio file, practically turning a whole playlist into one single file? Oughta be possible ...

mbp, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

if these files are in your iTunes library, try this: [_*Join Together*_|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/jointogether.php].

I tried it. Certainly useful, though not completely flawless. In the particular case, the process didn't work. Possibly because the resulting file was too long (just over 16 hours) or there were too many songs to combine ... don't know. I tried it with fewer files and a slightly shorter resulting file, which worked out fine.

perhaps this (rather old) read could provide a workaround.
