Great app, works fine. Saves me a lot of time. Documentation could have more details though.

Don't get me wrong: I deeply appreciate freeware! But this software only worked for me with about one out of every three audiobook titles I tried to convert. I use Leopard (10.5.4) and the most recent versions of the full QuickTime and iTunes. Two things happened: Either Join Together displayed Applescript errors and could not complete the job, or the joining process hung after QuickTime opened the third mp3 file. Having an enormous audiobook collection, it was imperative that I find some way to join the thousands and thousands of mp3s that were crowding up my iTunes and iPod lists. I'm sure it's the same problem for many other Mac users, so I encourage the developer to fix the problems with this Applescript. When I finally discovered AudioBook Builder, I was really happy to discover that it works perfectly. It also chapterizes the converted audio files, without the use of the Apple Chapter Tool that I was never able to find on the internet. (Hint to developer: Why not provide a link on your website to help people find it?) Well anyway, I was happy to pay $10 for AudioBook Builder, because it helped me enormously to organize my audiobook collection and with minimal effort. In it's current state, Join Together yielded few successes for me.

This script is a godsend! It's amazing that it's free (although, I like it so much I did send a donation). I listen to a lot of live music and it's great to be able to listen to a full concert without the annoying gaps in the songs.

I can't imagine going back to life before Join Together. Thanks, Doug, and keep up the good work!

GeoProf had trouble on 27 Sep 2010
Still shows the "QuickTime Player 7 cannot be detected" dialog even though I do have QuickTime 7.6.6 on my OS 10.6.4 MacBook, though I moved it from the Utilities folder to the Applications folder. I opened, ran, and even changed some preferences in QT 7.6.6, but that didn't help.

An app this mature should have a more sophisticated method of determining if QT 7 is present than simply looking for it only in the Utilities folder, especially since 1) that has been this app's biggest source of trouble from the beginning, and 2) a heck of a lot of Snow Leopard users have moved QT 7.6 to the Applications folder in a misguided attempt to make it the default QT app instead of QT X.

Apple discourages moving applications from where its installer places them. Put QTP7 back into Utilities and you'll be fine.

That goes for the heck of a lot of you other misguided users, too.

QT 7 is in utilities folder, but JT doesn't work. Oh well. Theoretically the app's a nice idea. (On MB Pro, 10.6.4.)

sjj_public had trouble on 28 Apr 2006
I tried running this on three AAC format files, choosing pass-thru. I have chapter tool installed. The script launched QuickTime Player 7.0.4, opened the 3 tracks in it plus created a new Untitled track. It then brought my system to its knees. I waited a while but it did not show any progress in QuickTime Player and continued to completely and utterly throttle my PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz. Eventually I pressed command-option-esc and then wait a long time for the force-quit window to appear, then force quit it and QuickTime Player. I would love to look at this script to see what it is doing and see if I could fix and/or improve it, but unfortunately even though it is freeware it is distributed as a run-only (un-editable) script. I went to the "web site" linked to here, but there is no sign of a "source" version there.

Join Together Plus is an optional shareware upgrade that provides additional pre-flight and post-op features that have been requested by power-users. You can upgrade to Join Together Plus from the free basic version for US$7. This is to cover development and support expenses, which, in turn, helps make Join Together work better for everybody. See Join Together's Help pages for more information on its Plus features.
