Found a great audio snippet to include in your new video project but don’t want to bother with the video part of it? Turns out, you’re not alone. Before we move to the topic of the article, it’s worth mentioning that some of the methods to convert videos to MP3, like using Windows Media Player, don’t work anymore. So we’re limited to just a few alternatives. But don’t fret – in this article, we’re going to show you two super easy ways to convert your favorite video to mp3.
How to convert mp4 to mp3 using VLC, on your PC
Many of us simply love watching on multiple streaming sites. It actually became a form of entertainment that we choose. VLC is an open source media player known as a free and reliable alternative to the media players that ship with standard operating systems.
Aside from playing media, users can also convert videos to mp3. Here’s how you do it:
- Launch VLC
- Go to Media -> Convert & Save
- Click “Add” to upload your preferred file
- Click on “Convert/Save”
- In the pop-up window, go to “Profile” and select “MP3” from the dropdown menu
- Click “Start”, wait for it to process and enjoy your fresh mp3 file!
It’s a viable alternative, but not very convenient, as the UI can be a bit counterintuitive. This is where YTD comes in for a much easier experience of downloading videos of streaming sites and converting them at the same time.
