I am wondering what the easyest method to rip and encode several cd's into a single mp3 file.
I am working on several audiobooks at the moment and I am fed up with 90+ tracks on a single cd.

any suggestions apreciated.

Thx..

rip as images... the magic word here is "image"

Use a CD Ripper such as Exact Audio Copy (HA.org wiki article here), and rip the CD into a single MP3 file with an embedded cuesheet (that way all your track information is stilll stored).

Arite.

You'll probably want to load each image in a lossless format into foobar2000 using the cue sheets. From there you can select all the tracks from the various images and then convert to a single mp3 image and create a new cue sheet to index all of them.

EDIT: This is assuming you're interested in combining multiple discs into a single mp3 image which is what you appear to be saying in your original post in contrast to the title of the thread.
