I have an audiobook in an m4b file with incorrect chapter titles that I am trying to fix. I have used Mp3tag version 3.17 to alter the titles and when I test it with VLC or Foobar2000, it seems to have worked. Unfortunately, when I load it into my Android phone and play it with Listen Audiobook Play…

Okay. So I wasn't able to use Fission with Darling or find a way to use a Mac that I could install software on, but I spent some more time searching for a solution and trying things. It looks like the newest version of fre:ac is supposed to be able to export a cue sheet, but I could not for the life…

Some players have an option to refresh their database, that would be the first step I would look for. If that doesn’t work or isn’t an option, try removing that book from this player, then adding the updated file again to see if that returns the correct results. I have done this. I removed the fi…

Sorry. It may be that I just wasn't comprehending, you know, words at the moment I tried to reply to you. InAudible does something really smart, if you use that to decrypt your files for personal archival. It writes the chapter metadata by both Nero and Quicktime methods. Libation, unfortunately, d…

Thank you for the recommendations. I downloaded MediaInfo and confirmed my suspicions. The chapter titles were indeed stored in both formats. I am unsure what you are recommending beyond that though. The other applications you mentioned are for audio/video editing and encoding. Should I try using th…

I was assuming your issue was that the titles were only being stored in one format, and that's why your player app wasn't recognizing the ones written by Mp3Tag/FB2k, etc. I was suggesting that another app that wrote chapter titles the other way (or both ways, so you would only need to edit once) mi…

Thank you for your input. Your suggestion to use MediaInfo was helpful in verifying the problem. Hopefully somebody else reading this can explain to me how to use Mp3tag to remove QuickTime chapter information. I wish this was as easy as removing id3v1 tags from mp3s while leaving the id3v2 tags in …

[image] nerfherder616: ....I have seen evidence that Mp3tag should be able to read and remove QuickTime tags, just not write them. I cannot figure out how to do this though. I would appreciate it if some one would tell me how to do that, or if not then recommend another application that could ac…

@ryerman Unfortunately, it seems like exiftool can't write QuickTime chapter tags according to QuickTime Tags Please have a look for QuickTime TrackRef Tags or QuickTime UserData Tags or chpl or chap They are all not writable for exiftool. As far as I understand this also means it is not deletabl…

chpl is the atom you want to keep if you want the Nero chapters. chap isn’t the atom to delete if you want to get rid of the QuickTime chapters. You would need to delete the entire trak atom from which the chap atom descends, because that trak is the text track that contains all the chaptering data…

I agree: the Exiftool documentation says that Quicktime tags are not writable. If Quicktime tags are truly the problem with the OP's files, then Exiftool may not provide a solution. Sometimes there are multiple tags with the same name but in different groups. Your example shows the ChapterList fi…

I downloaded Exiftool and tried the command listed above. I believe it removed the Nero tags but left the QuickTime tags in tact. Here is the file I have been working on the last few days. At this point, I have found a few others in my collection that have the same issue, but the file sizes are rat…

Maybe create a Mp3tag Tool, using Exiftool.
Here's a thread concerning a similar problem:
