"Join CD Tracks" command is dimmed. How do I use it. I am copying audio books and want to consolidate tracks into a disk.
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion
The Join CD Tracks command is only enabled when viewing the tracks of a CD before you start ripping it.
For general advice see Audiobooks on iPods. (Ignore the Windows scripts.)

I'm having the same problem too with the Join CD Tracks options dimmed. I tried your suggestion above and deleted all of the tracks I had already imported into iTunes from the CD. I then closed and restarted iTunes and inserted the CD. I then selected all of the tracks I wanted joined when imported and went to Advanced > Join CD Tracks is still dimmed.
Any other suggestion? I am on latest iTunes 10.7 and latest iOS Mountain Lion.
You can only "join" two or more consecutive tracks, e.g. Tracks 4, 5, & 6. You can also make multiple groups of joined tracks before you begin ripping. If it still doesn't work as expected then I'm out of ideas.

I was reading something about "resort the tracks" what is that?
Reading what, where? You can click on column headings to sort the display in a different order, but the join tracks command needs the tracks to consecutive so you should sort in track number or album order.
For general tips see Grouping tracks into albums.
