huge MP3 rather than gaps between songs

[brandon420]

How do you take a 74 minute mix cd with 13 tracks and turn it into one continuous mp3? I listen to mix cd's and seamliss mixing is a must even if it is only one track. I know if I turn the cd into one seamless (no gaps as it was recorded) MP3 , it can be played on my Ipod as it was intended to be played. I know that I wont be able to choose different tracks, I dont care. I have over 150-200 dj mix cd's and they are wothless on the Ipod but great on my CD player. Please let me know how to do this so I can load my mixes onto my good old IPOD! Please help me, I know that it is simple.

In iTunes, put the CD on & go to Edit>Select all to highlight all tracks>click Advance>Join Tracks. You will be able to import this as one track.

Honeybee,

I'll give in a try. I have been using CDex for windows to convert to one large MP3 and it takes 10-25 min. per CD. Your option sounds much easier. Thanks much!

I've heard having huge songs drains your battery, is this really true or affects a lot (instead of getting 10 hours of battery you get like 5) or it has a minimum effect? I also love hearing techno and most of my albums are continuous, so I'm not sure if I should cut the albums or leave them like that.
Thanks!
