but it does not seem to do a very clean job: when i run mp3splt with sync error detection mode on the the stitched file, it detects the merge points as sync errors. my guess is, file stitcher simply merges the mp3 files including their tags, which is not what you want to do. interestingly, if you remove the tags by hand from the original files, the program refuses to join those files...

i guess i'll stick with: 1) removing the tags by hand 2) using xmerge to merge the files 3) then deleting the type/creator infos that xmerge incorrectly sets.
