I have no idea how to use the program, but just do this if you cant figure it out: rip them to seperate tracks and then use HJSplit to join them into one track.

I tried the HJSplit method but it ended up bloody complicated

I've never used that program but you can join music files together in using Command Prompt on your computer.

To put the two (or more) parts together, open up your DOS prompt.
Go to the directory the parts are in and type this:

copy /B 1.mp3 + 2.mp3 /B 3.mp3
copy /B 1.mp3 + 2.mp3 + 3.mp3 /B 4.mp3
copy /B 1.mp3 + 2.mp3 + 3.mp3 + 4.mp3 /B 5.mp3

Example; If you have "DJ Tiesto - Dutch Dimension 02/02/2002 (Part I)", "DJ Tiesto - Dutch Dimension 02/02/2002 (Part II)" and "DJ Tiesto - Dutch Dimension 02/02/2002 (Part III)", then rename them first file to 1.mp3 , the second to 2.mp3 and the third to 3.mp3. Then copy and paste them into whatever directory your command prompt is in and put in "copy /B 1.mp3 + 2.mp3 + 3.mp3 /B 4.mp3". 4.mp3 will be your new file containing all 3 parts.

You can obviously do this with however many tracks there are on your CD.

[This better have been what you were asking about.]

So you want to make a CD into a long MP3 file?

So why isn't anyone recommending Audiograbber?

Just find the end time of the last track, deselect all the tracks except the first track and put the end time of the last track for the finishing of the first track.
