Chapters review: Mac app adds segment marks to MP3 podcasts and audio files

<p>Some apps are highly focused; Chapters (http://chaptersapp.com) is clearly one of them. Chapters lets you add division markings—yes, chapters—to MP3 files, useful for podcasters who want to provide a quick way for listeners to jump to a segment or past one. It’s also handy for making a single long MP3 file of a music performance, album, or lecture, and marking points along the way rather than dividing into individual audio file tracks, which have to be managed.</p><p>Divisions could be added to AAC files using a format defined by Apple to create so-called enhanced versions for years, but which aren’t universally supported. An AAC chapter break can contain a title, a URL, and an image. A fair amount of OS X audio software, starting with the bare-bones and very useful Fission (https://rogueamoeba.com/fission/) editor from Rogue Amoeba, supports AAC chapter creation and editing.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3025951/software/chapters-review-mac-app-adds-segment-marks-to-mp3-podcasts-and-audio-files.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
