In certain situations in life, there is a desire to listen to your favorite music recorded as a music video to help you relax or lift your spirits. However, the lack of a monitor does not allow you to do this. For such cases it is suggested to extract music from video and use audio devices, available in the car, as a stand-alone compact player and possibly in other variants.
There are a sufficient number of other reasons to extract audio from video, e.g. to listen to a webinar or a video tutorial, to save music from youtube channel, etc.
There are a large number of ways to solve the problem using different services and applications. Depending on your requirements they have different functions:
- online-audio-converter
- Wondershare UniConverter
- Freemake Video Converter
- Movavi Converter
- AVI-Mux GUI
- Online Converter Peggo
All services and applications have settings you can use to obtain high quality audio with minimal file size and therefore time saving conversion.
There are online resources that can cut audio from video online. Additional software installation is not required here and it is possible to work under this scheme in any operating system. Restrictions on the size of the uploaded file, a long time to upload and download the file, lack of editing capabilities are the disadvantages of this method of audio file extraction. In this case the process will be faster and you will not have to pay attention to the size of the processed file. Some editing software has the ability to select the desired part of the video file and separate the audio from the video in it.
The above mentioned methods do not allow you to extract music from video without converting the file formats, which affects the sound quality. However, to extract sound from video as quickly as possible, you need to look for a program that works in the format of the file you want to extract it from.
