How to Insert Chapters Into an Audiobook
Audiobooks stored in the iTunes application on your Mac or Windows-based PC are configurable, as the book is broken into chapters, in the standard MP3 file format. Through iTunes's "Get Info" section, chapters can be re-arranged, modified and synchronized to your portable Apple device. Get Info is the properties section of an individual track that displays the settings of the song, video or audiobook, and includes the chapter arrangement sections. Alternately, Windows Media Player allows track modification through the audio software's media library, which can then be synchronized to your MP3 device.
