How to Convert MP4 to MP3 in Audacity
Learn how to convert MP4 to MP3 in Audacity by extracting the audio track from a video file. This quick no-talking tutorial shows how to import an MP4 video, open the Export Audio window, select the MP3 format, and save the extracted audio as a separate file.
This is useful for extracting sound from videos, saving audio from your own recordings, creating an audio-only version of a video, and converting compatible video files into MP3 format.
Steps:
1. Open Audacity
2. Select File → Import → Audio
3. Choose the MP4 video file
4. Wait for the audio track to appear
5. Select File → Export Audio
6. Choose MP3 Files as the export format

Audacity imports the audio track from the MP4 file. The video itself is not included in the exported MP3.
