Is there any software out there that *easily* (I know I can DL a wave

and do it manually but I want something easier) concatenates wave files?

Or
even MP3s?


How could anything possibly be easier than bringing up a DOS prompt and
typing "copy /b file1+file2+file3 destination-file"?


Erm, because I didn't know you could do that. Thanks.


It most probably will not work to your satisfaction, .wav files commence
with a header.


And, even worse, if the programs that you use for playback follows the
standard, it would only play the first file, since there is info about
the amount of sound data in the header. The second file, appended to
the first would simply be ignored.
