How To Convert Mp4 to Mp3 music files
If you’re looking to convert MP4s to MP3s, 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 Mp3s and Mp4s.
- MP3 (MPEG-1, Layer 3): MP3s are small, high quality audio files that can be played on MP3 players or software. MP3s 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 (MPEG-4 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, and can be downloaded online at sites like MP4advanced, which I strongly recommend.
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, MP3s are for audio files used on MP3 players and software, and MP4s are for audio/video files used for internet streaming and high tech cell phones.
