| We will no longer be splitting and renaming the Sign Off/End Credits track. | If the ''Sign Off/End Credits'' track is already split for you when you first import and open the title, simply rename it as needed. If it is not already spilt for you when you first import and open the title, then do not spilt it. |

| The only track we will split is the First Track to separate the ''Title Page'' if it is attached to the first chapter/introduction/preface etc.. The ''Title Page'' can include the title of the book, copyright information, dedication, and/or epigraph. These will all stay together in the first track and be renamed ''Title Page''. | The only track we will split is the First Track to separate the ''Title Page'' if it is attached to the first chapter/introduction/preface etc..

| We will no longer be doing the Split and Join for clipped tracks (i.e. when there is a couple of seconds of the previous track at the beginning of another track). If there are a lot of tracks that are clipped, you can use ''Adjust OverDrive Markers Using Silences in Audio'' in your [[public:nnels:mp3todaisy:profile-settings|Account Settings]]. This option is designed to correct the positions of OverDrive markers in the MP3 metadata. It moves markers to nearby silences in the audio. **It is disabled by default**. If a book has a lot of clipped tracks, you can turn this feature on and reimport the title. Note: It can cause issues with some books, so only use it as needed. | We will no longer be doing the Split and Join for clipped tracks (i.e. when there is a couple of seconds of the previous track at the beginning of another track).
