- | This section shows you how to split a track in Converter Plus. | ||
- | |||
- | Some common book sections that can be combined in the first audio track are: | ||
- | * Title Page | ||
- | * Epigraph (This is the section of quotations found at the beginning of some books.) | ||
- | * Dedication | ||

- | * Introduction | ||
- | * Chapter 1 | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | |||
- | <note tip>A quick way to notice this is if the first track is the title page, and then the second track is Chapter 2. Another tip is to look at the total duration of the first track. Title Pages are only several seconds long, if it is more than this chances are it has more than one book section combined into the single track.</ | ||
- | |||
- | The end track usually will only have the Sign Off section joined to the last chapter. Most audiobooks have a Sign Off section, and if it is joined you will need to split it. | ||
