Using Labels in Audacity for file splitting

• Note that the following characters are not allowed in file names on Windows so do not use them in your label name

  • < (less than) 

  • > (greater than) 

  • : (colon - sometimes works, but is actually NTFS Alternate Data Streams) 

  • " (double quote) 

  • / (forward slash) 

  • \ (backslash) 

  • | (vertical bar or pipe) 

  • ? (question mark) 

  • * (asterisk)

  • Also avoid parentheses ( ) and square brackets [ ]. Use underscore _ or - to delimit instead.  eg. Instead of 0002_head(n) use 0002_head_n
