Merge MP3 for Windows

User Reviews

• Perfect single purpose tool

  Fudd1234September 7, 2017

  Pros

  Does exactly the one thing it needs to do perfectly. My project involved trying to merge 4 dozen or so tracks, in order, from each folder so each folder constituted one track, with each folder representing about an hours worth of material. I expected to be able to do this easily in Audacity and was very, very wrong; it would've taken a half hour each in Audacity. With this tool, I only had to Select All in each folder and drag & drop them. They landed in the same order and took less than 20 seconds to finish each. Only 20 seconds. I was expecting flaws at such speed and found none; it worked perfectly on my phone. Once the files are dragged & dropped into the tool, you just Select All again and choose Merge from the file options. You can even enter metadata to boot. Super easy, super fast and laser focused to do one simple thing really well: merge tracks into one.

  Cons

  Did not come with cake. Everyone loves cake.

  Summary

  All Pros.

• Fast, easy to understand and use, free

  bobciardiFebruary 21, 2016

  Pros

  - Fast - Relatively easy to understand and use after a little bit of experimentation and review of the menu options - Effective - Free

  Cons

  None, really. It does as advertised and nothing more

  Summary

  Excellent. I wish this program's features were included in CD-to-MP3 rippers so that ripping and merging were a one-step process.

• Loaded with Malware

  inmyopinionOctober 8, 2013

  Pros

  it made some sort of file (see cons)

  Cons

  Cant trust the file it made as I discovered so much malware it downloaded WITHOUT ASKING ME. It even changed the homepage on my browser. I cant believe CNET allowed this program. Guess I cant trust CNET after all.

• Small download, fast process, no complaints

  skaizunJuly 3, 2013

  Pros

  Small download and computer footprint; fast processing; simple user interface; no Windows installation/registry required.

  Cons

  Absolutely none.

  Summary

  The less than 1 meg download onto my Vista box is a zip file containing 2 files: One for iTunes, and one for the featured Merge MP3 program. I used only the latter. After downloading, I ran it from the zip file (i.e., no installation required), and a simple Explorer-style window appeared. I selected 15 MP3 files from my desired folder, then selected all of them using ctrl-A in the program's window, then merged them to that same folder. Although I could have manually sorted the files by using the up/down arrows, which the program provides, the given order was fine. The entire process from my manual entry to its execution to exporting the list (an optional step) took less than one minute! I barely had a chance to start my stop watch! When I played the resulting file (which was only slightly larger than the combined 15 files in my folder), I was surprised at how seamless it was, with no discernible breaks (to be fair, I randomly selected spots in my computer's MP3 player program, so, although it's possible that something, somewhere within the merged file is amiss, I seriously doubt it). Per the other comments, I used the "direct download" to avoid the additional, optional, software that Cnet provides by clicking the "Download" box. It is unfair to refer to those programs as "malware", since they are benign and optional, and have nothing to do with Merge MP3. I heartily recommend this software.

• Shame on you, CNET. Rife with malware.

  taostraderJuly 1, 2013

  Pros

  Didn't get that far...

  Cons

  Installed this to find out it wouldn't do what I wanted, then spent 45 minutes getting the unrequested software changes out of my system.

  Summary

  Don't download this software. How do I give it 0 stars?

• Full of Malware

  Beartooth1June 22, 2013

  Pros

  It works but . . .

  Cons

  It installs all kinds of malware. Backup Software that constently displays a nag to backup, Replaces your homepage, Replaces your search engine, Loads software for ASPCA. I declined ALL software offers but it still downloaded everything. If you delete ethese "options" the program disappears.

  Summary

  <br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jul 2, 2013<p/>After additional research it appears all of the malware that was loaded was from the download made using the CNET Installer. After I removed all of the malware and restored the computer to last good restoree point, I downloaded the product again using the Direct Download Link the program installed without any of the malware. The product works as advertised and deserves a least a 4 star rating.

• Do Not Download

  WKGasstFebruary 9, 2013

  Pros

  Not one darn thing

  Cons

  Came with a myriad of extra crap that installed extra toolbars on browsers and caused by antivirus program to work overtime protecting my computer from threats.

• Works as advertised. Simply wonderful!

  sneakygreenthingJanuary 17, 2013

  Pros

  I merged 12 mp3 audiobook files @ 232mb and the program took 5 seconds. The output file was a little smaller than the sum of the source :) It's one file for the actual program and another file to make iTunes audiobooks. MP3Merge did access the internet looking for an updated version. My firewall blocked it, but you can disable that under preferences. Drag n drop with a very clean looking interface.

  Cons

  __________

  Summary

  Great program at a great price! It's one of those nice little freeware programs you unzip and double-click the program file to run.

• Waste of time because it doesn't work!

  IrishgirlncDecember 31, 2012

  Pros

  None none none

  Cons

  IT DOESN'T WORK! I just wanted to merge two MP3 files...one that is 24KB and one that is 93KB. I get a file that's 115KB, but only has the sound of the first MP3 file. Pathetic.
