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.
