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.
