I would like to merge multiple MP3 files on a Windows PC without decoding and re-encoding them. I don't mind if the final MP3 files loses the ID3 tags, but if it could somehow preserve the ID3 tags, that would be a bonus. I would also like to avoid issues with time.

How can I accomplish this?

    It's technically not 'lossless' as MP3 is a lossy format. But you want to prevent any further loss of quality by decoding and re-encoding.

  • That's why I mentioned "without re-compression" in the body of the question

    the accepted answer of ffmpeg on the 'Linux question' can apply to Windows if you install it.

MP3DirectCut does what you want.

ffmpeg will probably do it too if you'd prefer a command-line method.

    It doesn't seem to mention that it uses a lossless process to join MP3s

  • @AugustusFrancis there is no proof for being really lossless. The fact you don't hear any difference is irrelevant here.
