MergeCDs

When you download a multi-disc set into your MP3 player, the player considers each disc as a separate album, making it impossible to shuffle songs from the whole thing unless you create a separate playlist. That is where a neat app such as MergeCDs can come in handy.

The same phenomena mentioned above also applies to audio books, as the track names, genres, disc titles, and even the artists' names are sometimes inconsistent from one disc to the next, so your player may not go from one disc to the next properly. Sometimes the MP3 player's display only shows the artist and song name for what's playing, when you'd rather see the name of the book than the meaningless track name. More so, the track names ("song" names) on audio books are often meaningless (such as "aa", "ab", "ac", or "Track 1", "Track 2", etc.).

This program merges all of the tracks of a multi-disc set into a single sequence of tracks as if they originally came from one single disc. This makes it more convenient to play the entire set on your MP3 player, and when you shuffle-play the album, the player will shuffle through the tracks from all of the discs. Also, the tracks for audio books are renamed to display the book title plus the disc and track number. One thing worth mentioning is that you shouldn't let yourself be fooled by the dated-looking UI, as the app holds its own efficiently even by today's standards.

MergeCDs is extremely easy to use, and offers fast response times, making it a great addition to your digital library, especially if you dislike larger and more complex software solutions.
