What is the best way to merge mp3 files?

I've got many, many mp3 files that I would like to merge into a single file. I've used the command line method

copy /b 1.mp3+2.mp3 3.mp3

but it's a pain when there's a lot of them and their namings are inconsistent. The time never seems to come out right either.

The time problem has to do with the ID3 headers of the MP3 files, which is something your method isn't taking into account as the entire file is copied.

Do you have a language of choice that you want to use or doesn't it matter? That will affect what libraries are available that support the operations you want.
