Entire album as a single mp3?
Wade Kainer
CD as a single mp3 track. I want to do this for some hour+ long dance
mixes. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Rip it as raw audio (.WAV on PCs), use an audio editor to
cut/n/paste them together, and then convert the new file to a .MP3.
Easy peasy!

OTOH, you *could* just merge the AIFF files into one big file via
Quicktime Pro, and then encode THAT as a big MP3.

There be none, that's why - at least, on the Mac platform anyway.
When I rip a dance-mix CD, I still prefer to keep the original tracks
separate, as this lets me jump through the mix quickly by using
track-select (and always keeping a playlist file associated with the
tracks).
If you *have* to have it as one ginormous file, you'll have to extract
the audio from the CD track-by-track and use a sound editor program
(such as Sound Studio, or Amadeus II) to combine them all into one large
AIFF file which can then be encoded. Or, as other posters have
suggested, using a sound-capture program like Coaster to listen to your
Mac play the CD through in its entirety into a single AIFF file suitable
for encoding.
