Large file concatenation
#3
Yes, it can be done within Audacity by opening each file successively or concurrently as new tracks, then select each segment and cut-and-paste them together in one track and exporting the large wav.  I am doing that [later edit: unsuccessfully] in Linux now and, I suspect, Audacity in Windows (with NTFS or exFat drives) should [edit: but doesn't] work, too.

Ideally, I'd like a CLI one-liner or GUI equivalent.  A search suggests that, in Linux, sox can do it at the command line with simply
Code:
sox filein.wav filein2.wav filein3.wav fileout.wav
but, in my attempts on Mint Debian, four files that should become one 7.3GB file instead become ~750MB or, if I use some switches to explicitly specify 192kHz 24-bit output like the input files, 10.3GB - neither correct.  [edit: that sox command will work if both input and output files are <4GB.]

My Windows command line skills have become a little rusty (how ironic; that's what kept me away from Linux until I made the commitment) so I haven't tried on it, yet.  Searching again suggests the same sox command line in Windows and some DirectShow headache.

Has anyone found another solution, preferably in Linux?  Thanks.
