Is there a tool for the opposite?, joining multiple Ogg files.

I recently encoded a CD that had more than one song per track (Babylon5-
Sleeping in Light). I used Cooledit to cut a track into separate WAV's,
encoded each one separatly and then simply joined the compressed files
together. The result was an Ogg file that played perfect in Winamp, and
also had the proper song title displayed depending on which part of the
track was playing. It's impressive that a file format can work like
this.

But this is probably the wrong way of doing it, and I have just made a
'bad' Ogg file and the decoder is working around any problems in the
file.
