That is for use when importing tracks from a CD.

If you're wanting to do that with tracks already in your iTunes library, you may want to take a look at this particular script from Doug's AppleScripts.

I have not used it for music, but it works great for audiobooks.

I grabbed the app. worked ok on first cd, seems to be caught in a loop on cd 2... opens 22 quicktime windows of the audio files on the cd, plays them all at once (annoying).... then I see the "joining files in quicktime" message forever... then nothing happens. :(

must be an itunes 8.0.2 bug? I have 8.0.1 on my other mac... and I can join the tracks in itunes on that one.

Am running 10.5.6 and iTunes 8.0.2 here and the option worked with the CD's that I tried. Not sure what is up on your machine.

iMac G5 iSight here for a system.
