As far as I know, that’s not possible. I have found [this](http://www.ehow.com/how_12212042_make-chapters-audacity.html), but haven’t tested it. Please tell us if it worked. I don’t know any DAW able to produce .mp3 chapter marks yet. There are only a few separate tools that allow producers to create chapter marks within .mp3 files. I think [Auphonic](https://auphonic.com/blog/2013/07/03/chapter-marks-and-enhanced-podcasts/) does this. I’m not sure if in the online and/or the desktop version though (@auphonic, could you please confirm/deny this?). Marco Arment from [Overcast](http://overcast.fm) is [in the process of building](https://twitter.com/marcoarment/status/659009653578321920) a tool to create chapter marks in .mp3 files (might be for Mac only). We will have to wait on that. There are more tools for chapters in .m4a/AAC files. [Podlove Simple Chapters](http://podlove.org/simple-chapters/) do support all file types, because they are not embedded within the file itself. This might be an easy solution for you. The problem is, that only a few mobile apps do support these Podlove Simple Chapters. ---

Yes, we support all kind of chapter marks (mp3, aac/m4a, ogg, opus, flac, …) in our online version. You can also import markers directly from Audacity and we will write them to Mp3 chapters: > **[Auphonic Blog: How to Import Chapter Marks in Auphonic](https://auphonic.com/blog/2013/07/08/howto-chapter-marks-auphonic/)** > > The automatic audio post production webservice. Our desktop version contains only our algorithms, no metadata features. Therefore chapters are not included in our desktop apps. ---

I haven’t tested that either. I assume you have tried creating chapters with Audacity (following [the link I gave you](http://www.ehow.com/how_12212042_make-chapters-audacity.html)) in .mp3 files by now and that did not work. I’d be surprised if it still worked for .m4a files. Just test it. Does Audacity even render .m4a/AAC files? The only DAW I know able to produce chapter marks within a file (.m4a/AAC files in this case, not .mp3) is [Hindenburg Journalist](http://hindenburg.com/products/hindenburg-journalist/). ---

That article only explains how to export multiple files using a label track, with are not chapter marks.
