Yes, this is how it's implemented at the moment. I went that route to be most compatible with foobar2000, which is using a similar approach (at least at the time). It's basically a representation of the chapters in Nero form — your original chapters are still there.

No, it's currently not possible.

This was a different issue that has been fixed with v2.93a. Back then, Mp3tag created the `chpl` atom in that case no matter if chapters were present or not.

> [2019-01-29] CHG: chpl atom was created if Apple gapless data was present. ([#44323](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/44323))

It's an addition of the Nero representation. No change of the existing format.
