You'd probably have to bring a file into a Daisy editor, and I'm not even sure 
you could use the "mp3".  However, in many instances, "mp3" files are 
compressed from ".wav" files, so there ought to be a way in most of the editors 
to bring i the "wav" file and index it.  What I do to create Daisy files, is to 
mark up a ".kes" file in K1K, then, have it go through the process of creating 
the ".wav" and "mp3" files.  But as Daisy files are being made from books 
being read and indexed, and some from previously read materials, as in the case 
of the NLS collection being converted over to Daisy, at least some Daisy 
editors if not all should have the ability to allow a person to mark up an 
existing file.

 Make them Daisy files, which are indexed "pm3" files.

  I am using Sonar to convert audio taped conversations , typically an

  files and save huge amounts of storage.  However, I have many markers
 in 
  these files which I'd like to keep, and converting to an MP3 file for 
  storage purposes will lose the markers.

  Is there any way to save the markers, short of writing them down in a 
  Notepad text file and storing it alongside the mp3?
