Combined MP3 files are cutting off after first part

I have some MP3 files that were ripped from a CD as 2 separate tracks, one an intro to a song and then the main song. Using Audacity, I combined them into one file so that the intro wouldn't play without the actual song when playing on random. VLC and Windows Media Player play the files correctly, as well as iTunes on my mac. But when played in Foobar2000, the track length is only listed as the original intro length and when it gets that point, it moves on to the next track, ignoring the rest of the file. Is there some header information that Foobar2000 is reading that other players are ignoring or something? And how can I fix it?
Thanks,
Kevin
