I wanted to combine all mp3 files into one in each directory using
Ubuntu command line.
I started using a thing called MP3Wrap
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/mp3wrap/)
It was as simple as
mp3wrap -v "wrapped.mp3" ./*.mp3
except it turns out to horribly break id3 tags, doesn't recognise vbr
properly etc.
Is there are way of losslessly concatenating mp3 files with sox, or is
it a job for another tool?
I know about "--combine concatenate", but that seems to re-compress the
files.
(The ability to unwrap the combined mp3 into individual files isn't a
requirement, but it would be a nice thing if possible!)
This last bit worries me. I don't see how that would be possible unless
some sort
of marker was placed between the n'th and (n+1)'th file. But then, it'd
cause some
sort of horrible sound when you played the file... if indeed you ever
intend to play
such a file...
Why would you do this?
If you just want the binary content merged into one long file, surely a
normal file
copy/append would do? Or you could zip the set of files into one file.
