SoX will convert those mp3s to files you can edit (I convert to flac and edit with audacity), stick the edited files all together, and turn that big file back into am mp3. Works real good (CLI, not GUI). Going through flac keeps the metadata. Also, audacity is in the Debian repositories. So is SoX. -- Glenn English -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: ProtonMail wsBzBAEBCAAGBQJfmuTbACEJEJ/XhjGCrIwyFiEELKJzD0JScCVjQA2Xn9eG MYKsjDIT+ggAjAOLBtocrz1kdYr4QBoi96N5dxR892vumXmTr+atrh82xnoZ flYGo0J16Boh0dgAO3DoKov7fywXwVI9UvXmzfzUYtCvcbn6THj1Q3jLIfYD QzC6YEPFSQBQwfP6u7YOD4Ho4KgnNvcYLBkO0+wzNZngqifBVThcoD50loYN gU+OahKyNDc1R+SR1fk/3h+hl1kQm3qhclcJkVk1RCerMc4q0Ht2pPosgsjL +9eKdJ2VB7F3mDasurt/EZ1N8NCwIXE5K+l/6nvh0X8wpSzfnnyTSqOp2BYR QfuEFM5BLja8q6ZM66Fi3giaPc8tZhDgTTbnTymmFbwapKEHz8G7AA== =yy0j -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
