CopyProhibit = A boolean value, whereas “0” equals off and “1” equals on. When enabled the
Copy Prohibit flag is thrown signifying the creator’s intent not to allow their content to be
duplicated. This is in no way an obstacle to being copied but serves more as a warning not to
copy the material.
SubIndex = Creates a searchable point within a track. Used for play only for professional
players like those found in radio stations that support this feature. This is used mostly for audio
CD’s with unbroken content like a concert CD and subindexes are also used for sound effects

EndTrack Mandatory descriptor. Demarks the end of the Audio track. One EndTrack must be

BeginSilence Allows for the adding or expansion of the Silence between tracks. There must be

EndSilence Always bookended with BeginSilence, EndSilence deliniates the end of the
modified silence between tracks.
UPC = Universal Product Code. A 13-digit descriptor that can be written to an audio CD.

GUI and compare the file against your original template. In this way you can be sure that there
were no additions or subtractions from available options or changes in syntax.
Note: It is very important to keep your template files up to date as we
