Combining Tracks
This function allows you to combine any two tracks into a
single track.  The two tracks need not to be consecutive
nor chronological.  You can combine several tracks into a
single medley, or several independently recorded portions
into a single track.  When you combine two tracks, the
total number of tracks decreases by one and all tracks
following the combined track are renumbered.
Example:  Combining the second track and the
fourth track
