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.
