Hello. Does anyone know how to trim a track in iTunes 12.4?
I have a track that is in aac format. The track is 1 hr long.
I would like to break the song up into 10 tracks of 10 minutes each.
Please help.
Thanks.

iTunes does not have audio editing options.
You can use QuickTime Player for simple edits.
You can using iTunes, it takes some work.
Use Get Info on the selected track.
1. In the Options tab, select your start & stop time (remember to write it down)
2. Close Get Info, then right click on the track and select create AAC version. (Rename it to Track1)
Do the 2 steps again for Track2 and so on......
Remember to save a copy e.g. on the desktop before you do the editing in iTunes just in case.
The problem with ckuan's method is it involves lossy re-coding of the tracks. When you do that you lose quality.
There are various lossless methods for doing this with AAC. A bit crude but workable would be to use an editor such as MPEGStreamclip. More easy would be to use something like Fission (commercial). There's this tool which opens AAC and splits it but it is designed for video so you can't see if where you are making the split actually makes sense: http://www.fosshub.com/MP4Joiner.html/MP4Tools-3.3-MacOSX.dmg
