How To Convert Mp4 to Mp3



If you’re looking to convert MP4 to MP3, chances are you want
to convert an MP4 audio file to play on your MP3 player. But
before we move on to cover how to convert the files, let’s go
over the main differences between Mp3 and Mp4.

* MP3 (MPEG-1, Layer 3): MP3s are small, high quality
audio files that can be played on MP3 players or software.
An MP3 can be easily created using a home computer, a ripper
program that copies a song from a CD to your computer, and an
encoder that converts your music to MP3 format.
* MP4 (MPEG4 Part 14): Mp4 is used for audio and video.
This file type enables for high quality streaming over the
internet and next generation cell phones - making Mp4 players
a hot item - and can be downloaded online at sites like
MP4advanced, which I strongly recommend. Mp4 players are
available for download online.

There are 2 main types of MP4 files. The first type is
called Simple Profile, which is used for low resolution
digital video content, popularly used for online distribution. The second version is called Advanced Video Coding , which is a higher quality format used for HDTV content.

So in basic terms, MP3 is for audio files used on MP3 players
and software, and MP4 is for audio/video files used for
internet streaming and high tech cell phones.
