RELATED LINKS: “Markers Window” on page 158 How Marker Information is Stored WaveLab LE uses MRK files to have a file format independent way to store information. However, to make marker information exchangeable between applications to a certain extent, WaveLab LE also stores optionally some information in the Wave headers. This makes saving files quicker if only a marker settings has been changed. However, this only applies when Write markers in WAV file header is deactivated in the Audio File editing preferences on the File tab. By default, both MRK files are created and information are stored in the Wave headers. • When you open a file that includes markers that were added in WaveLab LE, and markers that were added in another application, all markers are displayed when reopening the file in WaveLab LE.
169 Importing Audio CD Tracks You can read audio tracks from regular CDs and save them as a digital copy in any audio format on your hard disk. Although WaveLab LE supports a large number of CD drives, there are some restrictions you need to be aware of: • Observe and respect any copyright notices on the CDs from which you are importing tracks. When importing tracks, they are named “Track XX” by default, where XX is a number starting at 01. The numbering scheme can be changed. NOTE Importing audio CD tracks is technically more complicated than reading files from a CD-ROM or hard disk, because audio sectors can be hard to detect. Some CDs which do not conform completely to the CD standard may cause problems, especially when being copy protected. Import Audio CD Dialog In this dialog, you can import one or more tracks from an audio CD. In any workspace, select File > Import > Audio CD. Menus Rename tracks - Name Renames the tracks according to the selected renaming scheme.
