I have a live recording made on Mini disk which is seen as one long track when I import it onto my mac. Is there a way to insert track markers with the song title in Garageband?
BTW I've never used GB before.
Thanks

What GarageBand version do you have?
What you want to do can be done in GarageBand '11, but not in GarageBand 10.0.
In GarageBand '11 can you import your recording into a Podcast project. Then insert chapter markers between the songs and optionally add cover artwork for the song sections.
Drag your audio file to the track area and select the podcast track.
In the Track Editor you can now add markers and edit the chapter titles.
In the current GarageBand version 10.0 this feature is no longer supported.
Thanks for your fast reply! I have v09 with an option to upgrade to '10.
Is it not worth going to 10 to do this?

Not for making a sound file with markers. This is not yet supported in the newest version. I don't remember, if GarageBand '09 already had a podcast track. Just launch your version and see, if there is a podcast template in the opening panel.
Hi again!
I am currently editing the track as a Podcast.
Will the sound quality be as on a CD?
Kevin
When you share your podcast, you can either save it as "aac" or "mp3". aac will give the same quality as songs bought from the AppStore. Quite good, but not as perfect ast the aiff from a CD.
Okay, I burned it straight to disk which has worked - many thanks.
However when I tried to import the CD back into iTunes all the individual tracks are shown but without their titles, in G/Band I named each chapter as the title, so I have changed all the names in iTunes from Track1 etc to their real titles but can't find a way to import and save them, any ideas?
