How to combine MP3 files into single file on Ubuntu?

Well I have installed ubuntu running on the computer of mine. how can I combined small MP3 files into single file of any kind of format. Let me know if you are having any useful information to get the requirement of mine.

If you are looking to use archive then you should simply make a new folder and copy all the songs and you should combine the same by right click on the folder and click on Compress. You will get a prompt on the screen to put a name and after that select the desire archive type .tar.gz, .zip etc.

After looking at the need of yours you will need to get mp3wrap. You can install the program by using following command.

Code:

---

sudo apt-get install mp3wrap mp3splt

---

now you can merge couple of mp3 file by using below mentioned command.

Code:

---

mp3wrap merged.mp3  2.mp3 1.mp3

---

at the end you will get single mp3 file.

You can try to get requirement by using cat command.

Code:

---

$cat *.mp3 > new_filename.mp3

---

It will merge all the mp3 file into one file. I am not sure about the order of merging.
If you don’t want the order in which they are supposed to than you should use following command.

Code:

---

$cat file1.mp3 file2.mp3 > new_file1.mp3

---

And do the same several times and see whether it is useful to you.

You can give a try to sox however you have to take care that you have installed mp3 libs on your computer.

Code:

---

sudo apt-get install sox libsox-fmt-mp3

---

once done you can combine the mp3 file in following manner.

Code:

---

sox 1.mp3 2.mp3 3.mp3 123.wav
sox 1.mp3 2.mp3 3.mp3 123.ogg

---

I am suggesting that you can try with Audacity program. You can get that particular program on official site.
