John is right and I would imagine this is a helpful piece of software for the producer of podcasts 
or web segments. You could make one file of "This podcast brought to you by Joe's Dairy" or "This 
Podcast produced by Joe Schmoe" and automatically tack it to the end of each new clip.

In web terms, it's sort of like using PHP's "include" command for a text file of HTML code for a 
copyright notice or navigation bar that goes in the same place on each page of a website.
