How to combine .m4a files?

I have an 20 disc audio book that I am importing into iTunes. I have joined the tracks on the cd's so when I imported them I only have 20 tracks, instead of 2000 tracks.

Is there a way to combine these 20 .m4a files into 1 .m4a file so I can then rename it to a .m4b file to make it appear like an audio book with only one track?

If they are being imported from a CD, you can use iTunes to import them as one long track.

Or, are the files already on the computer?

I was able to import each CD as on long track by using the "Join Track" feature in iTunes. My goal is to combine all of the imported CD's as 1 file.

If the files are on the Hard Drive...

Download and install a copy of NCH Swift Sound Wavepad here. Open each file with Wavepad Simotaniously. First, select the entirety of the first file (Ctrl+A). Create a New file, and paste it in. Next, copy the entirty of the second file at the end of the new file. Continue doing this until all twenty tracks have been copied into the new file. Save the new file, and import it with iTunes. This will make them into a single large file.
