Chapter Track Requirements
Chapter tracks contain the actual body content of the audiobook. This may include chapters, epilogue, afterwords, acknowledgements, and more.
Each chapter track must:
- Meet all audio requirements.
- Be a maximum of 78 minutes in length per track. Chapters longer than 79 minutes must be broken up over multiple tracks.
- Have a section or chapter announcement at the beginning of each file.
- Be sorted in the correct order. Pre-naming your files in order may help.
