Track Splitting Modes
These modes control how tracks are assigned between side A and side B.
Rollover
Places tracks on side A until the next track no longer fits, then continues onto side B.
This mode does not guarantee that side A will be longer than side B.
Even
Attempts to balance the total playback time between both sides while preserving track order.
This mode guarantees that side A will be at least as long as side B.
Optimal
Attempts to split tracks between side A and side B in a way that minimizes unused tape space by keeping both sides as close in total length as possible.
This mode uses a linear heuristic to approximate the best split, since calculating the true optimal split would require exponential time.
This mode guarantees that side A will be longer than side B.
