Does anyone know of a command-line program that will merge or truncate mp3s? It needs to be command-line because I need to automate this process; I have some 1195 mp3 files which I need to merge together to make 400 or so mp3 files (my portable player won't index more than 500 mp3 files).

The closest thing I have found is Omion's mp3 packer, which can convert a fixed-rate mp3 into a VBR (variable bitrate) mp3 file;
see here.

If I can't find anything else to do this, looks like I'll have to hack Omion's code.

mp3splt & mp3wrap might be worth looking at.
