Default Can I Split An Album Audio Track?

Thanks again, John, for your suggestions. "Windows Media Encoder" alters
the original file - it is necessary to make copies of the original file to
work with this software. WMM imports a copy of the original file. I've
used WMM several times before and so explored this avenue first. However,
having specified the location of the files to be imported, only two (of the
expected eleven) files showed up - neither being the relevant one. That in
itself is of no consequence to me but it implied that I wouldn't be able to
copy a file to use in Media Encoder. It has been a useful learning
experience, but I think the simplest way to proceed is to re-record the
vinyl album when I am alert enough to avoid mistakes.

In 2001 I bought a stand alone CD recorder to transfer my vinyl
collection. I am now in the process of ripping the resultant CDs and
I thought this might be a good time to correct some of my early
recording mistakes - the most common being that I forgot to manually
increment track numbers.
Is it possible to split a single WMA track into the original component
tracks and, if so, how do I proceed?

An answer will be much appreciated even if it is negative.

'Windows Media Encoder' includes several utilities...
one of which is 'Windows Media File Editor'. Maybe
the following article will be useful:
