Part of your workflow is to make sure that there are no tracks joined together. For example, the first track might have the Title Page, Dedication, and Prologue in the single track. In this case you would need to split the track.

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
• Acknowledgments
• Prologue
• Introduction
• Chapter 1

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.

To split a track first do the following:

• Identify and select the track you wish to split in the Play Order section on the Set Play Order page
• Select the Edit button
• This will take you to the Edit Track page.
• On this page there is a section titled Split Audio. This is the third heading on the page.
• There will be text asking you if this track contains 2 sections
• Press the Scan button.
• This will take you to the Split Track page. It will automatically be set at the longest pause and will suggest you split the track at this pause.
• There is a player on this page that is set automatically to that place in the track. It will ask you if you wish to hit play to check the selection. Select Play to listen.
• If the player starts at the point of the track you wish to split (e.g. Chapter 1) then move to the Update and Split section, which is the fourth heading on the page. Learn more on the Update and Split Track page.
• Enter the name of the track into the text box for Title and select the Split button.
• Now you will have an additional track in the Play Order section that is titled Chapter 1.

If the player does not start at the point of the track you wish to split, then use the functions in the Search by Silence and Player sections to manually find the split point. For more instructions go to the Search Silences and Player instructions.
