Hey thanks for the suggestion. I do have one question about this method though. Say the files being joined are MP3s; will the editor transcode the files to something like wave or aiff to do the work and then go back or will it work on the MP3 format directly? I ask about this because transcoding is generally a bad idea due to quality losses during the process.
