Grabbing the audio from a video file and saving it as an MP3 is the only trick this app knows, but it’s a useful feature for many situations. While you certainly could open most MP4, MPEG, AVI, ASF, WMV and MOV files in a video editor and save out the audio as a separate file, that’s a ton of overhead and extra work for something that should be simple. Let’s say you have a training video, for instance, and you want to listen to the audio from the video while you jog. Or you want to share the audio from a video online, but don’t want the overhead of sharing the video. This is a quick and easy way to extract the audio portion of a video file in a format that is compatible with virtually any computer or device. Just choose a bit rate between 32 and 320 kbps and go. It does not rip audio from DRM’d video. [Windows 9x/2k/XP $0.00]
