How can I wrap mp3s and still have them bookmarkable in rockbox firmware media player sansa clip plus???
I've tried mp3wrap and sometimes the mp3 it creates doesn't allow me to bookmark in rockbox firmware for some reason. Why does this happen and how can I avoid this?

Personally, I do anything like that with Audacity. It might take a bit longer but it always gets the results and I use a Rockboxed Sansa Clip+ too.

Do you have a recommended tutorial on how to do that?

It's just a case of importing the files one after another. There are plenty of tutorials on popular websites.

However, Audacity does decode and then re-encode your files so there will be some loss in quality which you don't get with mp3wrap. I guess this doesn't really solve your problem unless you have the files available in a lossless format.

Are the individual mp3s bookmarkable before you wrap them? I seem to recall that mp4box has a hint function which works with audio files. I think I used that before when I had large audio files that wouldn't scroll properly. Maybe try that? It's in the repositories as part of the gpac package.

Found out how to do it with ffmpeg.
ffmpeg -i "concat:file1.mp3|file2.mp3" -acodec copy output.mp3
just use the tab key to auto-complete the file names but I think you need to do that before putting it in with "concat: and | ". Otherwise, the tab autocompletion will not work.

I tested the completed file with rockbox firmware on sansa clip plus and it works with being able to set a bookmark.
