That sounds perverse! ;) Are you sure the post you're trying to get
is
complete? (Green puzzle-piece next to the header, indicating that Pan
has seen headers for all the multiple parts.)

If you must do it this way (the hard way), save *all* the pieces into
the same place and do "yydecode *" -- it should locate the parts and
decode them properly. I used to do that for 200MB AVI files, so I know
it'll work on mp3s. :)

I'm assuming you already tried right-clicking on the header of the
posting that contains the tune you want, and choosing "Save article
attachment"... it's been a long time since I used 0.11.4, but I thought
it handled yEnc posts.
In (more) current versions, that's all you have to do -- click, save,
and go have some coffee if you're trying to grab a whole movie or
something. :)
Good luck,
