In a previous article, I described MP3Joiner, which is an interactive program to select and join MP3 audio clips into one file. This article is about it’s brother, MP3JoinerSA, which is a command line version using a few parameters to perform the same joining tasks. It can be called from a batch file, making it well suited to running in a schedule.

The program let’s you specify a group of files as a list in a text file, and they will be combined into the resulting destination file. The file list could include paths or it could be a simple file name list, and a command line parameter indicates the path to look in for the files.

Looking at the sample input file, the beforenews.mp3 and afternews.mp3 clips could be prerecorded standard intro and outros for the dailynews. Each day the news technician would record only the news into dailynews.mp3, then run MP3JoinerSA to group then all into one clip file for the next broadcast. MP3JoinerSA can be run from a dos batch file, so the process can be somewhat automated. This works nice when you have an automation system with a command line program to insert a cut.
