Why convert MP4 to MP3?
The main reason users convert MP4 to MP3 is to extract audio files from MP4 to a more compatible and easier to user format. Please note, you can not extract video, still photos or other types of data from MP4 to MP3, only audio files. MP3 is an audio specific format and will not play video or other types of multimedia. Many times, files that are sold, streamed or downloaded off the Internet are not already in MP3 format. For instance, you might have bought a music video, but besides watching the video on your computer screen, you would like to take the song with you on your portable MP3 player. Unfortunately, most MP3 players do not support MP4 files. In order to play the music portion or soundtrack of the video on your portable MP3 player, you must first convert it from MP4 to the more compatible and easier to use MP3 format.
