Can you please recommend an easy to use music trimmer?
I ripped a mixcloud stream using a great free MediaHuman app (Youtube to Mp3). I now need to rip the desired 6 minute song (in m4a format) from a 2 hour stream. The trouble is: I can't seem to find a decent app to do it.
I tried using a couple of online apps but the file was too large to upload, and I can't seem to find a decent app to use for my iMac anymore.
Do you know of an easy-to-use and/or free music trimmer/cutter app?
thanks

Audacity?
Spyware after v 3.0.3. Tenacity is the prevailing fork without telemetry. Needs work but works ok.
Really? The audacity on these guys!
If this was reddit, I would have given you a trophy.
Didn't they remove those?
Don't know, left it long ago.
Yeah, now they're doing some stupid shit with upvotes themselves. I have no idea, I'm still using Boost and old.reddit.com when I need to find something on there.
That's an over-exaggeration - the telemetry in Audacity is literally just opt-in error reporting, and the server is self-hosted by the developer. Source
Source?
Here’s one source.
I thought that had been removed after everyone kicked up a fuss?
Not that I'm aware of but could be, I stopped using it when they added it.
thanks, I tried using Audacity but I got an 'incompatible plugin' error message.
Thats odd. What did the Internet say when you asked for help with that?
Linked back to this thread 😂
Another dead end of “help” eh? Ignore this person
Try converting to MP3 first if using Audacity: https://www.neowin.net/software/file-converter-universal-right-click-media-converter/
Probably need to convert it to a lossless format first with another tool. Try reading up on VLC or ffmpeg format conversions. Extract the audio and convert it to wav. Then try to slice out the section you want with audacity. Once you have the trimmed section you can use VLC or ffmpeg to convert it to whatever audio format you want.
