OK Gary, this is the way I did it. I simply selected all of the files I wished to merge from the folder in Windows Explorer, then copied all of them to the clipboard, then move focus to the Goldwave Merge dialog box, and paste them all into that box. I would think that would take care of the problem, meaning, that my selected files would be placed in the proper order. However, that blasted last file in the bunch still insists on being the first in the list.

I did find a rather clunky way of dealing with this problem though. I simply opened up the completed product file in Total Recorder, and cut the material from the last cd at the beginning, and placed it at the end of the file, making things right, but I really shouldn't have to go to all that trouble. I guess I can at least be thankful that at least I have that option.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Larry

Hey Dennis, thanks for your answer. As I said in a later post, I managed to remember the file Merge option just after posting my question to the list. Actually, to be accurate, I was reading the changes page on the Goldwave site for v5.25, to which I immediately downloaded and upgraded and heard the term "File Merge" and it hit me <g>. As I said, I don't use the program a whole lot, so I tend to get a little rusty with the recall.

Now, could you tell me if it is possible to keep the Merge from placing the last file in the merge cue at the top of the order? One would think that the fine people at Goldwave would have tackled that little quirk long before now.

Subject: Is this possible with Goldwave?


Hi listers,
I just downloaded a couple of audio books, and unfortunately, the person who converted these books didn't convert the files into a single file for each cd, but left all the tracks converted as individual tracks. All I want to do is to take these files, and place them in their proper order, and making one mp3 file for each cd. As of a few minutes ago, I took a look at the batch processing options in Goldwave, but can find no one step way to select all these files, and consolidate all these mp3 files into one file. Is there a way to do this, or must I copy each file, one after the other, adding them to the last mp3 file created in a manual fashion. Surely there has to be an easier way to do this. If some one can instruct me in the best way to go about what it is I am trying to do, I would really appreciate the help. The reason I would like to accomplish this particular task, is to make it easier to listen to these files on my Victor Stream, rather than the Victor classic, because fast forwarding, and rewind are so much better on the stream.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Larry
