I know there’s a lot of sites (like vidtomp3) that let you extract music from online videos. But what if you already have the video (in my case, some *.mp4 files) on hand ?

Converting MP4 files to MP3 is quite easy, once you have appropriate software. I used google to find the free version of NCH Software’s Switch Audio File Conversion (this is provided free as a teaser for Switch Plus – you can download Switch Plus demo here or purchase Switch Plus online here).



The options are laid out very simply, but are comprehensive enough for me. You can can control

  • whether you’re converting an entire folder or just a bunch of files,
  • your output bitrate,
  • the location of the output files …

It may be a basic program by true audio engineer standards, but it meets my (9albeit simple) requirenments.
