Hi Amadeus and VoiceOver users,
Here's a quick tip if you want to cut audio from either end of a file. I've
seen many descriptions, most of them mentioning that you have to set a marker.
But what I do works quick. Say I want to cut off the start of a file, say the
first minute. I play and skip
Dear listers,
Often, I have a file that I want to perform a specific action on. For example,
this could be a stereo wave file, that I want to convert to a 256 kilibit
stereo mp3 file. Is there a way you can think of, that I can add a new menu
item to the vo shift m context menu on a file, and t
Hey Paul

I briefly showed the technique in a recent podcast. It also applies when
cutting a bit of audio out of the middle of a track, you only need to set a

navigate to podcasts in the sidebar, bring up the contextual menu with
VO-Shift-M, and select "Export". You'll want to specify a format of

But, if that content cannot be independently accessed by a blind individual,
then it's value to us decreases significantly.
