Well, the cat-concept was the one I tried before - it may work fine for mp3s with CBR, but with VBR it fails because you get an inaccurate track length. My solution yesterday was to re-encode the separate mp3s with lame, so I have files with CBR. Then the shell script worked fine again and stable. After all I don't have to spend more time on preparing the d/l. It doesn't take longer if I first merge the mp3s and then export the file with Audacity to CBR or if I first encode the mp3s to CBR and merge them afterwards. Curious enough that Amazon delivered VBR/ABR mp3s all the time but ffmpeg just has problems with some of them. But I'm human and satisfied being unable to understand everything. :D Kind regards, Nelson.

But browsing the changelog sounds rather positive [1], [2] - especially the contributions from Daniel Krang and Michael Niedermayer on [2]. UPDATE: running the script a second time, error messages get more detailed: [mp3 @ 0x8396940] Header missing Now it's interesting to find out the corrupt mp3-file among the 27 of the drama. ^^ [1] http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git&a=search&h=n0.11.1&st=commit&s=acodec+copy [2] http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git&a=search&h=n0.11.1&st=commit&s=Floating+point+exception

[arch-general] Joining mp3's --> Floating point exceptionffmpeg
Hi, folks, for joining audio dramas (d/l from Amazon) which come along in MP3-Format I use a short script #!/bin/bash mp3wrap tmp.mp3 *.mp3 ffmpeg -i tmp_MP3WRAP.mp3 -acodec copy all.mp3 && rm tmp_MP3WRAP.mp3 It works for half of my books, processing the other half produces this error message: /home/nelson/scripts/mp3_join.sh: line 3: 15295 Floating point exceptionffmpeg -i tmp_MP3WRAP.mp3 -acodec copy all.mp3 As to my knowledge the script worked fine for a few months then, I think after an update of ffmpeg, the trouble shown above began. Are the MP3 files corrupt or is this a bug in ffmpeg. I'd say it is a bug, because running Windows and MP3 Album Maker it still works fine. OK, I could keep Windows for this scenario but I try to get away from this. Does anyone have an advice for me ? Have the suitable parameters for ffmpeg changed ? Or is the ffmpeg-call obsolete meanwhile (it seemed to be necessary for fixing the audio-header concering track length) ? Thanks in advance, Nelson.
