How to set individual title/number to each marker to import with correct metadata in itunes

Hello,

I have a long audiofile and created many merged markers (with a time range) and named them purposefully. When I export them I get the tracks with the title I gave the marker as the filename and the order is added as a postfix.

But when I import them in iTunes the titles of each track are all the same and there is no tracknumber / order to them. It's a timeconsuming hassle to find the right title and tracknumber manually. There must be an easier way to do this. But I searched and coudn't find an answer.

 

Can someone please explain to me how to export the chunks created with markers of an large audiofile so that each "chunk"/marker-range/track has the proper metadata to easyily import it in iTunes. Or to rephrase it - how to set the metadata to each individual "chunk"/marker-range/track. Or is there another way I need to go about it?

There are some things you have to bear in mind about this. It's only wav files that support multiple markers; MP3 files don't, so there's no way that you can do an easy conversion from a single wav file to a bunch of MP3 files, and the batch processor doesn't have any sort of mail-merge function. So you have to find another approach completely. If you are using Windows there's a free utility called CueListTool that will let you extract the cue data from the wav file, and let you store it as data. If you're using a Mac, you're out of luck, though; this app dates back many years to Cool Edit, which was Windows-only, and it's never been ported.

 

At this point, you'll have a list of marker data, and a batch of MP3 files. What you will need then is an MP3 tag program with batch-processing capabilities. The only one I can see that's free and looks as though it will do this is Mp3tag, so that might be a good starting point, at least.

This may not appear to be perfect, but it's the best we've got, I'm afraid.
