[Greg Kearney]

I agree the best way that I have found is to visually find the tone in the wave form. I believe there is a method of detecting such with a computer however.

While understanding that navigation by chapter, most of these being fiction works, is the preferred method for doing it this is not always an option as it would require us listening to the whole book to find the chapters in many cases.
