v5.2.1

Download version 5.2.1 now.

Join Together is an AppleScript Studio application that 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, with Apple's ChapterTool application installed, 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.
