Good Morning,
I have a few Gigabytes worth of Daisy audiobooks, mostly magazines I
either copied from cartridges sent by NLS or downloaded from the BARD
website.
My digital media player(a Blaze ET) is authorized to play Daisy
audiobooks Encrypted with BARD's DRM, but it takes a really long time
to load ones with longer play times, and navigating within a long
Daisy program is a bit annoying.
Does anyone know a way of splitting a Daisy audiobook into a separate
audiobook for each top-level heading with little to no loss of audio
quality and retaining all lower level headings? Ideally, I'd like to
separate each Magazine into a separate Daisy folder for each article
and to be able to split any future novels I add to my Daisy collection
into one Daisy book per chapter, just as I merge my rips of CD audio
books into one flac file per chapter.
If the process can use the input Daisy book to automatically give the
separated parts a meaningful title/filename, all the better.

Good Afternoon (UTC+1 here),
as a Daisy book contains mp3 files and XML files containing the
associated meta data, it should be possible.
However I don't know a program doing that for Linux. There is one
for Windows which can also do much more: http://www.daisy.org/tobi
But can't you just use daisy-player? It has useful navigation
features, just type man daisy-player to know the key bindings.
However, Maybe the DAISY Pipeline project provide tools that
can help you splitting and merging:
http://www.daisy.org/project/pipeline
I gathered the download links to what they provide, but have yet
to look at the content to know if that's usable and relevant:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/daisymfcgui/files/Pipeline%20GUI/pipeline-gui-20111215/PipelineGUI-20111215-Linux-64.tar.gz
https://sourceforge.net/projects/daisymfc/files/pipeline/pipeline-20111215/pipeline-20111215.zip

Best,

Willem here.
You would first need to get rid of the encryption before any of the tools
would be usable.
Exactly how you would go about making a daisy book with only some of the
content of the original one, depends on if you have daisy3 or daisy 2.2
books.
It boils down to unzipping the book and removing some entries from the
.opf and nav.xml files and then removing the relevant files from the
directory structure. This is for daisy3, for daysi2.2, it is the same
idea, but different files to be edited.

Okay, not sure which version of Daisy I'm working with here, but
here's the output from ls on the root of one of the magazines:
asimovs_2018-11-0001.3gp
asimovs_2018-11-0002.3gp
asimovs_2018-11-0003.3gp
asimovs_2018-11-0004.3gp
asimovs_2018-11-0005.3gp
asimovs_2018-11-0006.3gp
asimovs_2018-11-0007.3gp
asimovs_2018-11-0008.3gp
asimovs_2018-11-0009.3gp
asimovs_2018-11.ncx
asimovs_2018-11.opf
asimovs_2018-11.pncx
asimovs_2018-11.ppf
asimovs_2018-11.smil
asimovs_2018-11ann.3gp
asimovs_2018-11hdgs.3gp
asimovs_2018-11pdtb.md5
dtbsmil110.dtd
ncx110.dtd
oeb1.ent
oebpkg101.dtd
pdtb_protected.smil
protected.mp3
us-nls-dm-asimovs_2018-11.ao
I don't recognize most of the filename extensions, but I suspect the
.3GP files are the actual audio since du -sh * | sort -h identifies
them as being the largest files in the directory. I also know
protected.mp3 is simply a recording that plays when trying to play the
book on a unauthrized device.
I'm assuming most, if not all, of my current Daisy Library is the same
major revision of the format as most of the magazines are dated 2017
or 2018, and there are five files that Jdupes identifies as being
identical across 137 audiobooks, which I believe is the entire
library.
I hope that helps others in narrowing down exactly which beast we're
dealing with.

As two file names include "protected", probably to make any change you
need to "unprotect" them first. Is it possible and allowed?
Other than that, the "file" command can tell you a file type.
For instance type:
file asimovs_2018-11-0001.3gp
asimovs_2018-11.ncx
If it falls in the "text" category you can display it in a pager like
less, most or more.
Knowing the results can maybe help someone help you.
Best,
Didier
