Hi,
mpgjoin actually has a quite readable manpage. In case of mp3 all you
need is
mpgjoin -o JOINT_FILE_NAME -j FILE1 FILE2 (...) FILEN
I wouldn't worry about the metadata, you can create new ones with mp3tag
or graphically with EasyTag or similar.
Alernatively -if you don't want to hear "This is a Librivox
recording..." over and over, maybe- you migh just open the MP3s with
audacity, align them in extra tracks, cut what you don't want and export
the whole thing as tagged MP3.
Greetings,
tom
