Re: [SoX-users] Keep multiple files AND merge into one file

[Peter S. <ps...@nu...>]

This sounds more like a problem of how to identify new files, rather than a sox problem.

If you were to move or rename each new file after adding it to master.mp3 then it would simplify that task because only the next new file would match the n.mp3 naming pattern.

But then 2.mp3 shows up and I run `sox 2.mp3 master.mp3` and it overwrites master.mp3 with only the content of 2.mp3.
