Re: Copying files

Many thanks for the info.

And apologies for posting to the wrong group.

(It's to fill an ipod shuffle, so that after playing a certain time,
around 45 mins., it does not emit any more sound.
Until a few hours later, when it can be turned off.
Appending files will let me set the maximum "silence" period.)

Hi!
I have a mp3 file, and wish to double its length.
(add it to itself)
Can I do that?

g4egg, who remembers "PRESS PLAY ON TAPE #1"
(www.g4egg.co.uk)

I can't recall the exact formation of the command to use at the Command
Prompt, but it can be done that way.

Here's what I see as your two alternatives:
1. Visit the groups at alt.msdos.batch.nt and ask you question there.
Your question is a simple one and they'll have a ready answer for you.
What
you have to do is append one file to another but not leave the eof marker
after the first file.

2. Download an app such as Audacity, a free audio editor with lots of
features. Go to
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/
to download it.

Once installed, turn on the recorder and play the song twice, then save
it.
You'll need to download an add-in to create MP3 files; it creates WAV
files
by default.

But ... why you'd want to append two two blank files together is another
matter and makes no sense IMO.
