To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), do this:

Be sure the computer is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).

During startup in Mac OS X v10.2 through v10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

Merge MP3

Download
Download the latest release here. Simply unzip MergeMP3.exe from inside the ZIP file, place it into any directory and execute it.

It is often necessary to merge multiple sound files into one recording. This need may arise for various reasons: merge ripped CD tracks into one, combine multiple chapters of an audiobook, etc. There are many great programs to achieve this, but very few of them are actually free. I've discovered that while all of these programs perform the task well, they also contain lots of other features, making them too complicated for the tasks. This is why when I needed the plain vanilla merging utility, I could not find one that was free - and decided to write one myself. The added benefit of writing one myself, of course, is that it has exactly the features I need - and none that I don't. When it was done - I decided to give it away for free - to alleviate some of the pains I had.

Below are some screenshots of the program. Click on each image for a large picture.

[Back to Top]

Program Features
The features of the program are not numerous - but everything you need is here:

Merge as many files as you like - no limitations by size, length, or number.
Sort files to be merged by filename (with or without directory), date/time or size.
Optionally write ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags into the merged MP3 file.
Optionally write VBR frame into the merged file - useful when merging files with different bitrates.
View detailed information about MP3 files to be merged, including MPEG header information and ID3v1 and ID3v2 information.
Choose to use ID3 tag from any of the files to be merged to write into the target file.
Display an image embedded into the MP3 files.
Play MP3 files from the list to be merged.
No complicated installation - simply unzip the program and run from any directory.
Very intuitive interface.
Very fast merge speed.
It's absolutely FREE!
