tony are you suggesting:
lame --nogap track1.wav track2.wav....etc

Precisely. That is a REQUIREMENT for lame's nogap to work. It must have ALL of the wave files all at the same time in order for it to be able to dovetail the ends and the beginnings of the tracks together. Get it?

if so what does lame the encode to?

track1.mp3 track2.mp3....etc.
