We're not fools. The cool thing too is to go technically a couple layers into the details, the WAV file does not get uploaded as you mentioned. It infers and informs the admin of all the chapter data.

And the cool thing I think of is afterwards, if there's a typo, which I will go and save and then preview the webpage, because sometimes in audition, it's not easy to see all those typos because the interface of audition has small type. And I'm in my forties, as you've alluded to you being in your forties. It's not that my vision is bad. It's just, you know, it's small.

And so I'll see things differently when previewing it as the, you know, future episode page of this episode, for example. And I'll notice that I fat fingered something or whatever may have happened. And I will change it in the admin versus having to re-upload a new WAV file. Now that does mean that the WAV file is no longer the source of truth, which is obvious because it's not meant to be.

But the change happens in the web, not in the MP3, or sorry, the WAV file, which can take minutes, sometimes 15 minutes if you're on a non-Apple Silicon Mac. Yeah, too long. Like I've learned. Too long. You know, it could take, you know, 10 minutes sometimes to mix down from the session into the WAV file.

Yes.
Yes.
And so that could be too long, like running tests, just too long. Forget it. Right. Just do it in the browser.

And sometimes you'll catch a typo on an episode that you're listening to a week and a half later. Maybe Adam mastered it. So it's not even on my machine. Like Dropbox hasn't synced it. I don't want to go sync his session down, remix it down, et cetera. So I just go into our admin, make the change. and we're good to go. So that's really cool.

All of the MP3 chaptering abilities, shout out to our friend Losh Vickman, who we hired a couple years ago to write a Elixir library, which allows us to write ID3 v2.3 tags, which we couldn't previously do with our FFmpeg-based solution, which is why we didn't do chapters as quickly as we wanted to. All of that you can find in old episodes. There's a Kaizen with Losh.

There's also an episode that I thought was really fun called A Guided Tour Through ID3 Esoterica where we talk about all the cool stuff Losh learned along the way. as he wrote that library, which we now maintain, although it's had very few changes because it works pretty much as advertised over the years. It allows us to embed images and links as well. Super cool.

And, you know, not to flex or anything, but I feel like we have the best chaptering game in the biz. That is a flex, isn't it?
