For Linux users:

1. Open a terminal window
2. Navigate to the directory containing the mp3 files (e.g., cd ~/blah)
3. Enter: cat *.mp3 >> Sample.mp3

For Windows users:

1. Open a command prompt
2. Navigate to the directory containing the mp3 files (e.g., cd c:\blah)
3. Enter: type *.mp3 >> Sample.mp3

The above steps concatenate (join) all mp3 files in a given directory to a single file, leaving the original file in tact.

That will copy the files in whatever order they exist in that directory (not necessarily sorted by filename). You could get lucky (sometimes), or not... You can do a somewhat more advanced command that sorts filenames then concatenates the files in the sorted list...
