  Pros

  Incredibly fast

  Cons

  Not a single one

  Summary

  Heres my story. I have a few dozen CDs of standup comedy on my computer and they are all separated into tracks. All of these tracks put together amount to a few hundred "Songs". I uploaded all my music on google play and my standup cds went along with it. There were about 2500 songs in total. Unfortunately like 400 of those "Songs" are actually short individual comedy tracks. So when I shuffle my music, I would often get a comedy track. Thats where this program comes in. I was doing some searching, and found another program that looked good, but for some reason would only let me combine 2 songs together. So I came back on google and did another quick search and found this. I didn't expect much. So I took the tracks highlighted all, dragged and dropped onto the program and then hit join and named the file. And it INSTANTLY joined the files. It was so quick that I thought there was an error of some sort. When I went to check, everything was there and the quality was exactly as the original and the file size was the same too, give or take a couple MB. I am highly impressed with this program, I've joined about 23 CDs now in less than 10 minutes. This thing is amazing for my uses. I don't know how this program does it but, AWESOME!! (The only thing I didn't like was that 1 of the CDs is MP4 audio and it only does MP3)

• Excellent programme where others do not work

  colin_thamesApril 4, 2012

  Pros

  Fast, intuitive. Offers drag and drop adding files and re-ordering. Seems to cope fine with different bit rates etc. Works great on Windows 7.

  Cons

  A bit pricey but I found some discount codes which helped. No technical problems.

  Summary

  I think ConW's review may have mistaken Direct MP3 Joiner for something similar. I had tried MP3 Merger, MergeMp3 and MP3Mate. Direct MP3 Joiner beat them all. Some of the others didn't work or were crippled in their trial version to limit the number of files you could merge. Direct MP3 Joiner happily merged about 30 MP3 files into one in its trial version. The only limitation seems to be a 30 day time limit. Well worth trying.

• It was so good it is gone! Lucky I still remember it!

  ConWOctober 11, 2011

  Pros

  Absolutely nothing.

  Cons

  Nothing... couldn't get it to work.

  Summary

  It didn't work for me... wouldn't even allow me to join 2 mp3s. But it wanted my money! So it wasn't freeware! Freeware is always first in my searches when I want freeware!

• A piece of work! (and I mean that in a GOOD way)

  dkistnerJanuary 4, 2011

  Pros

  Blazingly fast; no learning curve; high-quality design and programming.

  Cons

  I did not encounter any problems. I've only used it for 10 minutes, but it's clearly a nice piece of work.

  Summary

  When I tried to rip a large audiobook I'm reviewing to mp3s for my Kindle, I wound up with 99 generically named tracks per CD: not workable. Without having to read instructions, and even having to work around Direct MP3 Joiner's demo-version 50-track-per-project limit, it took me less than 10 minutes to join 1000 tracks from 10 CDs into 10 audiobook-style mp3s. Existing tags automatically imported, and I was able to edit them on the fly. It's rare that I actually derive pleasure from using a program, but when one works as splendidly as this one did, I like to say "Thanks for a real good time"! The programmer did a fantastic job and deserves to be well compensated for this effort. If I weren't broke until next month, I'd register this program right this minute even if I may not ever need to use it again. (Although, after this experience, I expect I will find more ways to use it.)

• It works great

  sweaty_tacoJanuary 16, 2010

  Pros

  Very simple to use and a quick way to merge songs like, We will rock you and we are the champions very seamlessly.

  Cons

  Free to try, but 20 bucks to buy. It should be cheaper in my opinion. You also cant use itunes library or windows media to join files together because they are not saved as mp3.

  Summary

  Good software, but cost is a factor.

• Simple, effective, direct

  kcperowJanuary 8, 2010

  Pros

  Does what it needs to do with no extra flourishes

  Cons

  I suppose it could be prettier, but why?

  Summary

  Simple clear software that does exactly what it needs to do: no more, no less. The 30 day trial is ample to see that it works as needed, and the buy price is fair at $19.95. I don't need or want extra graphics or bells or whistles, just a clean interface and seamless workings, and this software provides all of that.

• OK but has a few bugs

  free-nameJanuary 30, 2009

  Pros

  easy to use, works fast

  Cons

  In batch mode has a tendency to transposes the first and last files so you need to check file numbers carefully before joining. This is a real pain if working with a lot of files. Also, the mechanism for moving files up and down the list is clumsy.

  Summary

  Does what it's supposed to but you need to be careful and check for errors.
