Join Together automates the process of joining the files of selected iTunes tracks together with QuickTime and exporting them as a single AAC Music or Audiobook file/track. Optionally, you can then create a "chapterized" audio file of the exported AAC file with pointers to the individually joined tracks.
Join Together is still available as a free well-featured basic version--which has the same or better features as it's ever had--and as a US$7 shareware Plus version, which has additional pre-flight and post-op features requested by power-users. See Join Together's Help pages for more information on its Plus features.
Join Together was named a Mac Gem in Macworld's "2008 Summer of Mac Gems" series.

System Requirements
- Macintosh computer running OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or better
- Snow Leopard installations require QuickTime Player 7. QuickTime Player 7 must be installed on Snow Leopard systems even if QuickTime Player X is also installed; they can exist together. QTPX does not (yet) have the requisite AppleScript support to use Join Together. QTP7 can be installed from the "Optional Installs" folder on your Snow Leopard installation disc. It will be installed in your /Applications/Utilities/ folder. Launch it and play a file with it at least once. Join Together should be able to find it after that.
You can also download the correct QTP7 for Snow Leopard from this page at Apple. - iTunes 7 or better
