Combining multiple Music Files

How can I combine multiple m4a files to one file? I have several older Audiobooks I downloaded from CDs. Each track is only a few minutes so there are tons of files to make the full book. It clutters up my Music list. Thanks.

Exporting Playlists I exported a long playlist to several CDs as a "data CD", i.e., not a "music CD". Each CD has a file named "ContentsDB.xml". I then downloaded the contents of all these CDs to a folder on my desktop. Since the ContentsDB.xml files for each CD were duplicates, they were automatically sequentially numbered ContentsDB 2.xml, ContentsDB 3.xml and so on. My intention is to drop these folders on to Music on a different computer. Will the contents of these various ContentsDB-x.xml files be automatically merged? Or can I export the original playlist as an .xml file, rename it to ContentsDB.xml, and use that since it os a reflection of the entire playlist. Bottom line, how can I download a playlist across multiple CDs and its ContentsDB.xml file to a different computer?

Lefty,

iTunes does not have a way to do combine multiple files into a single audio file. It can be done with an audio editor.
