Looking for program that can join many MP3's into a single file in a specific order
by Drylandfish from LinuxQuestions.org on (#518V9)
Hi,
Tried searching the forums first to see if this oddball question had ever been addressed. Had no luck -but maybe I'm just terrible at search terms?
Linux Mint user here. I'm looking for a program that will run under Mint that can consolidate around 100 mp3's into a single large mp3 in a specific order -like from a playlist.
Here is my issue:
I volunteer for a community radio station that is currently under lockdown during the pandemic. Normally, I'd queue up around a 100 audio files for a 5-hour broadcast. I normally use QMMP for this task, bringing my laptop to the studio. In this situation, programmers are being asked to remotely submit large, single Mp3's to broadcast. At home, I'd rather not re-record all the music tracks and have to DJ in real time. It would be much more expedient to record only my station breaks and insert them between music/ID's/announcment files.
Is there any program that will allow me to compile a playlist and bake them all into one file? I mean without having to rename 1000's of files for alphabetical order or something.
It's my understanding that there used to be some programs that would "wrap" mp3's like this for file-sharing. And that some would run under Linux. Any recommendations would be helpful.
Thank you!
John
