Hurrah!!!!!! I found /*AudioMove*/ amongst my programs and it worked 
beautifully converting all my releases in less than 3 minutes all 1611 
files!

I got to the organ to load at long last. There are some errors but these 
are related to tuning mostly, something I find with a lot of instruments 
that have not had the samples processed properly.

So Mission Accomplished (well - almost)..... definitely from the merging 
point of view.

Thanks to all, especially you Jeremy, once again.... and whoever created 
this marvellous piece of software. It sure saved my day.

Keep this bit of software amongst your arsenal if ever you need to do 
conversion jobs like this!
