You're not really doing this in VB Script - you're shelling out to a console
session and you then have the usual problems with placing the correct number
double-quotes around your file names. A cleaner solution would be to do the
whole lot with VB Script commands, e.g. like so:

sName1 = "D:\Sites\www\applications\recorder\file1.mp3"
sName2 = "D:\Sites\www\applications\recorder\file2.mp3"
sName3 = "D:\Sites\www\applications\recorder\New.mp3"
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
iSize1 = oFSO.GetFile(sName1).Size
iSize2 = oFSO.GetFile(sName2).Size
sFile1 = oFSO.OpenTextFile(sName1,1,False).Read(iSize1)
sFile2 = oFSO.OpenTextFile(sName2,1,False).Read(iSize2)
Set oFile3 = oFSO.CreateTextFile(sName3, True, False)
oFile3.Write sFile1
oFile3.Write sFile2
oFile3.Close

By the way - are you sure that you can append .mp3 files to each other like
thim and get them to be processed correctly by your media player? What about
the header information?
