The file name is crucial and may prevent the sale of the publications at some retailers. In particular, it is important not to confuse chapter titles with track numbers. The track number should contain only numeric characters, while we recommend that you avoid numeric characters in the chapter title (some retailers do not support numeric characters in the chapter title).
Make sure that the metadata of each track of the audiobook is also properly documented.
