Twins File Merger

Twins File Merger is capable of joining together multiple files into a single item. This software application is rather intuitive and offers support for MP3 audio tracks and MPEG videos (MPEG, MPG, MPE, M2V, MP2, DAT), along with text (TXT, CSV, SQL, LOG) and Word documents (DOC, RTF). The only rule is that it cannot combine files from different file types, except text and Word.

Setup and free registration

The installation procedure is fast and the only notable aspect is that Microsoft Word must be installed for combining Word docs. However, it's not mandatory for the other merging jobs.
Twins File Merger was not freeware before, so make sure to use the license name and number listed by Softpaz to register the software utility for free and lift the trial limitation.

Merge audio, video and text files

It adopts a seemingly outdated interface with a neatly organized structure, where you can begin by selecting the types of files to merge. You can add items to the task list from files or entire directories, check out the size and full path of each entry, as well as change their order in the list. This information can be saved as a Twins File Merger file list, copied or printed.

Save file lists and set ID3 tags

In order to merge all items in the list, all you have to do is indicate a saving directory and new file name. This task shouldn't take too long, depending on the total size of all parts. On task completion, the application invites you to set ID3 tags for MP3s and MPEGs: title, artist, album, year, genre and comment.

Examine detailed reports and configure program settings

Moreover, you can preview and save a detailed report with the entire merging operation, which includes information about each file that participated in the task. The tool is able to remember the last used list on exit, or clear the list before drag-and-drop, disable the double-click function.
In addition, you can integrate the app into the Windows Explorer shell extension, disable ID3 tags offers, insert or remove a specific number of lines between text or Word files, as well as place a specific template file between text or Word files.

Evaluation and conclusion

We haven't come across any issues in our tests, as the tool didn't hang, crash or prompt error messages. It left a small footprint on system resources, running on low CPU and RAM.
Although it hasn't been updated for a long time, Twins File Merger offers a simple solution for merging files into a single item, and it can be handled with ease by anyone.
