Codec to Merge Multiple Tracks into a single Flac?

[mswlogo]

Is there a Codec to Merge all Flacs from One Album into a single Flac.

Turns out my stupid car supports a 32GB SD card but is limited to 500 Folders or 2048 Files.

So it would be cool if I reduce each album to one flac. I often listen to whole albums anyway.

I did check the Codec Central first this time

There is no merge codec.

Is there a way to use external command line codec to do a set of actions per folder/album?

There is a open source tool called shntool that can merge all flacs into a wav.

But I'd really need to batch it

Not with dBpoweramp.

In case anyone else wants to do this I wrote a simple script.

I notice it's been asked several times.

Put this in a .BAT file.

MAKE SURE THIS RUNS ON A COPY of your library.

It replaces collapses multiple MP3's into one per folder.

No special tools needed. MP3's are unique that you can do this.

Some players will only play first song. My VW CC playes them all but will only display meta data first song of each album.

You can't jump between tracks if you do this but you can fast forward.

This was to get past an odd limitation of 2000 files or 500 folder on the VW.

It will get errors from cleanup code.
