I have a file joiner program that was not expressly made for joining mp3s, and I think it is causing some corruption of the files, since lately mp3s that are joined with this program aren't readable (or visible) on burnt dvds or cds, but the non-joined ones are. I know there are plenty of mpeg/mp3 joiners that have drag-drop lists where you join the files that way, but the advantage of the program I've been using is that it is in my right-click context menu in explorer, so I just select the files and it joins them in alpha/numeric order. Does anyone know of another program like this that is made for joining mp3s and includes convenient right-click context menu usage?

Maybe you could integrate the right-click yourself?

I was thinking of trying to make one like that, but this would use the msdos joining method (which is probably what the current program I'm using does also) and it doesn't consider the header for each mp3 that is being joined into the one file- I think this is where the corruption is happening. I think what is needed is a program that knows it needs to strip the non-audio information from file 2,3,4,5,etc. and just use the header from the first mp3. My programming experience is limited to batch files, basic Visual Basic, and web page apps, so I think these things are beyond me.
