Hello all,

 

I'm using Windows 11 on one of my pcs.

On this pc, I want to do some very basic editing such as splitting a larger
file into smaller ones and then putting the files on a cd or make a playlist
of them.

 

I am hoping to do some very basic editing. I cannot seem to make Goldwave
work so I'm seeking other ways. 

When I opened Goldwave now, it does not let me go back or forward in the
file as it used to with the right and left arrow keys.

 

I'm trying to avoid audacity as this program has a larger learning curve.

 

I am seeking a way for free to split audio tracks up and also hopefully trim
off some parts at the beginning of tracks.

I am planning to split large files from zoom recordings up which are now in
MP4 format but I can convert them first to MP3 if needed to work with
Windows media player.

 

Can the newest windows media player do this? 

Can I use mp4 files and split them once inside windows media player or will
I need to convert to mp3 first?

I have a number of zoom recording files I desire to split up and retain the
good quality of the file.

 

I've also read about a free plugin called wmp trimmer plugin for Windows
media player.

Anyone used it and can it work well with a screen reader?

Is there accessibility for this plug in such as keyboard commands?

 

What options are there for accessible splitting files up and other basic
editing with a screen reader?

Does VLC media software do this?

 

 

I've also read about other mp3 splitters online and free to download. But I
do not know which can be accessible with built in use of keyboard commands. 

Many editing programs rely on mouse features like drag and drop or clicking
on different sections of a visual graph to mark the places you want to cut.

 

Thanks for any advice.

Ashley
