Here we are going to use the Linux command line tool
mp3wrap to combine our multiple MP3 tracks into one large MP3 track. To do this, still in the same directory, issue the command:
mp3wrap <output file.mp3> *.mp3
One very important thing to keep in mind is that the multiple tracks must be named sequentially. This should not be an issue if you used cdparanoia to rip your audiobook CD, however, if you already had the tracks ripped and they are not named sequentially be sure to rename them before trying to combine them. For example, track01.mp3, track02,.mp3, track03.mp3, and so on.
We now have the one large MP3 file that we want. Lets convert this file to PCM.
