I would like to import multiple gpx files into Google Earth & animate them concurrently. I’ve only been able to animate one at a time.

i have been getting going on sailboat race tracking just like you want.
Progress so far is great –
using smartphones as the .gpx data loggers on each boat (‘GPS Essentials’ for android and ‘MyTracks’ (NOT ‘Mapmytracks’) for iphone, both free.
At the end of the race we email the .gpx files which are imported into GoogEarth via tools/GPS/import. because they are all on satellite time, the concurrence is perfect and automatic.
Each of the tracks appears in the temporary places window, where they can be renamed, path + icon colour changed an so on.
Move (by dragging) each boats file to one folder for this race. Create a “tour” of them and then right click the parent folder to email out a .kmz of the whole show.
spectacular.
