Merging multiple mp3 files into a single mp3 file for Mac OS X

Trying to create rip an audio book into mp3 while I faced this problem.

Basically, the audio book CD came in various tracks in it.
After ripping it from iTunes to mp3, multiple mp3 files had been created which is not very convenient to manage or listen.

Here is a command from the Terminal which I used to merge the multiples mp3 files together >>

for i in *; do echo $i; cat $i >> bigfile.mp3; done;

This command will actually join the mp3 files together and show the sequence it was being joined. Please rename your file in sequence and make sure there isn't any spaces in the filename.
