Most of the audio editing tools are created to cope with the most common issue: splitting audio files into several parts or extracting a certain fragment.

Whether you need this feature for your studies, a favor, or work, chances are you don't want to waste any time on getting to the bottom of the issue with professional software.

Step 2: Open and play files

To load your files either drag and drop them in the program window or use the 'Add file' button above the main window. Note that the program has two modes, the audio splitting one loads by default.

Once the files are loaded, you will see the waveform, which you can navigate with the left-click. The 'Play' and 'Stop' icons are located above the main window.
