Tape and Record Track-Splitting

By "track-splitting" we mean the way a CD player or iPod lets you quickly skip around to other songs.

We can only place track points accurately and consistently for the most common types of recordings:

• Studio music records.
• Music tapes with clear silences between the songs.

On the other hand, we can not place accurate track points for recordings that have lots of pauses or where the songs blend into each other. In these cases, each tape or record will come back as just one long track for side A, and another track for side B. For instance:

• Anything spoken like sermons or books on tape.
• Language tapes.
• DJ sets and dance music mixes.

However, with certain kinds of recordings we're definitely willing to give it our best shot, we just can't guarantee it'll be perfect. If it proves to be too difficult, you'll get one track per side. These recordings include:

• Classical music.
• Live recordings.

Let us know if you have something specific in mind rather than letting us use our own best judgment. Alternatively, we can automate the track-splitting process to insert track points every five minutes or some other arbitrary number of minutes.
