Yes, it's very nice. But it works by decompressing the .m4a, letting
you edit it, and then lossy re-encoding if you want a .m4a back. If the
OP is happy with a different, lossless, output format, e.g. .flac, then
they won't lose out.

ffmpeg(1) can skip chunks of encoded .m4a at the beginning, before
copying the remaining ones to the new file.
Many thanks for the various advice. I am likely to use both methods and
I have no objection to ending up with flac file as that is what all my
CD rips are. Hope the files don't grow too much. In fact some of my
GiP music recordings, once topped, tailed and tagged will go into my
master files along with these rips. At present all my GiP recordings
are in Radio_Programme directory.
Looks like I have a good bit of reading to do on Audacity!!!
Thanks again, will report back when I have the hang of it.
Alastair.
