How Can I Ripp and Encode 2 continuously Tracks from a CD into 1 MP3 file?

On this page is a tool that will concatenate (put together) two or more mp3's:

http://search.cpan.org/~jv/mp3cut-1.10/script/mp3cat

So if you just rip them regularly, you should be able to use the above to make one mp3-file.

I haven't used the program, but I found it by googl'ing for "concatenate mp3", so maybe try that, if it doesn't work.

You can use EAC's "copy range" function. Action -> Copy Range. Select starting/ending position, and click "Snap Track" as necessary.

Why you want to do that? Gap between the two tracks while listening? There are other solutions: LAME MP3 encoder + a gapless player (e.g. foobar2000 or WinAmp with a proper input plugin or the new upcoming version).

Anyway I don't think that concatenating two mp3 will give you a good output. You can try, thus.

Personnaly I'll rip to WAVs, load the two into foobar2000, select both and then use Convert -> Run conversion, single file output.

You can also load the two into Adobe Audition, Audacity, or any other WAV editor, concatenate the two, save, and then convert to mp3 using LAME.

Foobar2000 is an EXCELENT program, but has a quite steep learning curve. You'll sweat in the beginning but will be rewarded then.

thank you very much for your help. I did both methods, using Foobar and EAC. it works great.
