Looking for software to merge audio files

Hello,

I'm looking for software that can 'merge' mp3 or wav files together
without making them into one file. Allow me to explain. I have mp3's of a
live concert that I want to convert to wav and then burn to cd. But then
on the cd, all tracks will have a pauze between them. What I'd like is a
seemless transition from track to track, so that you don't hear a pauze
between two songs and the cheering of the audience isn't interrupted.

I'm not sure whether software exists that can do this, but I hope someone
can help me out :)

Your CD burner is inserting the pause. Check to see if that is an option
you can change. If not have a look at the Freeware butners here - I
believe some of them allow you to burn without the pause:

When you write your CDs use DAO rather than TAO. (Disk At Once vs Track At
Once).

I think I use DAO by default (I use Nero btw) but I'll doublecheck.

You can set the gap in Nero IIRC

If there is a track pause, it will be be 2 seconds (for a standard
track gap).

If you set the gaps to zero and burn DAO, you will probably still get
an MP3 to MP3 discontinuity, or even a WAV discontinuity if they are
not cut on CD sector boundaries.

Taking the freeware route - since this IS ACF, you can either fuzz the
join with a small crossfade.

If you have an OEM Nero with no crossfade, try using foobar
www.foobar2000.org to crossfade tracks and burn with the Nero plugin

Otherwise, you WILL have to consolidate them into a WAV/CUE and cut &
shut the joins, and/or smear them out with the "frequency preserving
interpolate" in EAC's "Process WAV" function.
