How can I join 24bit tracks without ripping from CD?

I've begun to upgrade my library to 24 bit audio, and many of the albums I want to upgrade have tracks which should be "joined." But if I buy, say, Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon from HDTracks, and want to have each side play as one continuous track, I have to burn it to CD first, then rip it. Which reduces the audio back to 16 bit. I wish iTunes would start selling albums in 24 bit ALAC, but that's another issue. Does anyone know a way to join 24 tracks without burning to CD and ripping?
Thanks!

Yes, I suppose I could use Garage Band or Logic for that. Makes for a lot of work, though. I guess I was hoping for something easier. Thanks!
Hi Mark,
Up to you, of course, but as audio editing tasks go, stringing a few tracks end-to-end is relatively simple.
The other option is just to put the relevant tracks in a playlist in the desired order, make sure Crossfade is set to 0, and play them in a row. Try it and see whether the transitions come across as "good enough."

How can I 'join' audio tracks when importing audio book?

HELP!!
In the latest version of iTunes, 11.0.1, I can't find the 'JOIN Tracks' button which is needed when importing an audio CD to keep each disc treated as one book instead of storing each chapter as a separte entry. Without this, I can't find a way to keep the chapters to play in proper order as each CD, starts with chapter 01.
Thank you for your help

Join CD tracks
When you import songs from a CD into iTunes, you can group songs so they always play together (even when you’re shuffling songs).
Insert an audio CD into your computer’s CD or DVD drive, and click No in the window that appears.
When the songs on the CD appear in the iTunes window, hold down the Shift key to select the ones you want to join.
Click near the top-right of the iTunes window, and choose Join CD Tracks.

You use "Join CD Tracks" from the Advanced menu when you are importing. The function doesn't work after the tracks have been imported: Adding Songs from CDs to your Library
If want to edit and splice tracks together you can download the free open source program Audacity which has Linux, Mac and Windows versions at this link: Audacity

I would like to know if I can "join CD tracks" once they are downloaded into a playlist in my ITunes folder on my computer and/or how do you "join CD tracks" if you are downloading from iTunes itself. From the information through the "Help" menu, it seems you can only "join cd tracks" when you are in the process of downloading them from a CD onto your iTunes playlist?
.....any suggestions would help.
Thank You

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

How can I merge 2 tracks into one track with iTunes 11? I used to do it with iTunes/Advanced/Join Tracks, but iTunes 11 does not have an "Advanced" button.

How can I merge 2 tracks into one track with iTunes 11?

Thanks for your reply, Jim. I imported a CD that I had burned previously with the 2 tracks of sound effects that I had downloaded from the internet (MP3 files), but I did not see an option to join the tracks when I imported the CD. In the upper right corner there were three buttons: Options, CD Info, and Import CD. When I click on Options, the drop-down menu has two choices: "Get Track Names" and "Submit CD Track Names". I cannot find an option to Join Tracks. Help!

Can't join purchased tracks

I know how to join tracks imported from a CD, but I want to join tracks purchased from the Music Store and can't do it. How do I join purchased tracks?

Hi there,
I did some searching here in the forums about this, and I think i found an answer that would be useful to you. I apologize to the original poster, as I am not going to cite his name, but here is what he said:
"The process of compression to MP3 or AAC adds a blank space to the beginning or end of the file itself. This is sometimes called "encoder gap". If this encoder gap is not accounted for, then combining two compressed files together (even if they're at the same bitrate and such) will still leave a tiny audible gap in the file.
iTunes does not have any support for true gapless playback, and so it would be unable to correct for that encoder gap. Even if it did understand gapless, combining the streams like that is problematic for many other reasons. The only real way to do it is to re-encode them both, which causes a quality loss, so it's a bad idea to begin with.
Whereas joining CD tracks is mainly a matter of ripping them together into one track, which is easy because a "track" is just a marker, it's not an actual change in the datastream.
Suffice it to say that there are technical reasons behind it, and the overriding reason is iTunes lack of proper gapless support."
There, that seems pretty comprehensive to me. I hope this helps.

How can I view iTunes charges without having iTunes?

How can I view iTunes charges without having iTunes?
Unless you have iTunes installed. I cannot find a way to see details about charges to my account.
I understand that a confirmation email is sent after each charge, but unfortunately I delete those.
Apple has to implement an easier way for people to track details of charges without the need of iTunes, since most people do not connect or depend anymore of iTunes and only use (OTA) for registration, updates, iCloud restore, etc.

Sorry, but other than the receipts, the only way to view the dates and costs of a purchase are by using iTunes ona computer. If you want to make suggestions to Apple regarding a different method, you can use their feedback pages:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Those people who do not arrange access to iTunes are taking a big risk with their purchases, since without backing up to iTunes on your computer you're at the mercy of the app and content owners who can remove items at any time. This has happened on numerous occasions, and if that happens, redownloading that item will no longer be possible, leaving you with no recourse should you inadvertently or deliberately remove the item from your iOS device.
Regards.

Can't join CD tracks

when I want to import a CD with multiple tracks. I select the tracks, and then the option to 'join tracks' is not shown under the options icon. how can I join tracks?
thanks

You can only join adjacent tracks and they have to be in the correct track order. Look at the screenshots below:
Image 1. Only one track selected - so Join CD Tracks is not shown:
Image 2. Tracks 1 & 2 selected, so Join CD Tracks is available:
Image 3. Although tracks 1 & 2 are selected, the track list is in reverse order, so Join CD Tracks is not available:
Image 4. Same album as image 3, but in correct track order, so Join CD Tracks is available:

How can I join/merge audio in 1 step?

How can I join/merge audio in 1 step? Or... 2 in Logic X.
I want join all the audio in this track(image)

I see only three steps, and one of 'm (3.) should not be necessary unless you've created a take folder or folder track somehow?
In step 2. you are not joining tracks, but regions (on the track).
I do understand why Apple does not "fix" this: nothing's broken, that's why. If the Logic dev team would listen to all these "it's too complicated" complaints, Logic Pro would eventually end up being iTunes with a record button.
Two tips: learn the terminology (knowing the difference between tracks and regions, for starters) and use the search function in the manual. If that still doesn't get you anywhere, ask us.
Have a nice day!

How can i join two libraries from two different users

how can i join two libraries from two different users in the same computer?

I should add that you can turn on SHARING where each user can see the other user's library and play stuff out of it. But they can not import those tracks to their own library or put them into their own playlists or burn CDs of the shared library.
Also note, to do this you need to have the fast switching option enabled with the accounts so both can be running at the same time and both must have iTunes running at the same time.

What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
GarageBand 6.0.5
GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system. But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio. Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.
