Mike, Alan, and all,I'm sorry I forgot that only sound files in .wav or .mid format could be embedded in an email message, and started this thread down a false trail of thinking about merging mp3 files.
But, I still think your best bet is to use an audio editor, to create one big audio file out of the two or three files you want to play consecutively. It's just that all the files in question will need to be .wav files.
And, Mike, for doing this, I prefer Goldwave, in part, because I already own it. But others may prefer other audio editors.
Blessed Be, Namaste, Dana that's Dana, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N AIf your synthesizer pronounces them identically, instruct your customized pronunciation dictionary that Dana=dayna.

Dear Mike, I knew that was what you wanted. I do not know how some one started off in a different direction.Those instructions are perfect, did you download them from the old JFWLite Web Site, Debbie's old JAWS site?Well, anytime you think you have an idea how to add two or three files and have them play one after another, send a message to yourself to try it out.And if it works, please send me a message telling me how you did it.I wish there was a way, but after many years of sending out Christmas Greetings, and Happy New Year greetings messages with the appropriate music to play, I just could never figure it out.By the way, if you ever want any .wav or .mid files, you can do a Google search and find thousands or hundred of thousands of them.I have a few thousand on my computer myself, sort of "collectibles" (Smile).With Best Regards, Alan Miami, Florida----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike & Barbara" <mb69mach1@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2009 10:47 AM Subject: Re: E-mailing multiple sound filesHi Alan & Dave,Alan, you are correct in what you are thinking. My poor choice of words iswhy others are thinking attachments. The imbedding if definitely what I want to do. For example: If it is my Mom's birthday and I would like tosend her 2 small sound files imbedded into an e-mail that will play back to back as soon as she opens the e-mail versus opening the e-mail than havingto open an attachment to hear the sound files. I would like to thankeverybody for their responses and feedback. I am posting the steps I followto imbed a sound file into an e-mail to give a better idea of what I'mattempting to do. Remember, I am trying imbed multiple sound files so theyplay back to back to back upon opening an e-mail. Thanks again. Adding a music file as a background in an EMail message. This feature is only available in Outlook Express. 1. Open a new message. Put in the recipients address, subject and any message you may want to include. 2. Go to the format menu, alt o. 3. Arrow down to the background menu, or type the letter B. 4. Arrow down to sound, or type the letter s. 5. Tab to browse and press enter.6. If you are wanting to add a midi file, tab one time to, files of type andtype the letter m for midi. 7. Shift tab 2 times back to your list view.8. Navigate to the file you want to add. If the file is not in that list,you can press your backspace to navigate to different folders. 9. Once you find the file you want to add, press enter on the file name.10. Tab to, repeat settings. You can choose to just play the sound, or play the sound continuously by pressing your up or down arrow. If you choose tojust play the sound, you can tab one more time and select how many times youwant the sound to be played by using your up arrow. 11. Tab to OK and press enter. 12. Send the message as you normally would. Take care.

Now, it seems the subject has changed to "attachments".Outlook Express allows you to "embed" .mid, .wav, and other sound formats,but not .mp3 into a message.So then, are you now just wanting to know about joining mp3 files, or about"embedding" sounds into email messages.
