"""
Merge several different ripped versions of a track.  Useful when cdparanoia
reports some uncorrectable errors.  If you have ripped the track several times,
this tool can merge them all, by choosing the most popular value from all files
for each byte value.

Usage: merge.py FILE1 FILE2 [...] > merged.wav
