Be it extracting music from videos to be able to listen it in a music player or mp3 player or extracting audio from television interviews or movies to do the same. Quite a few free software programs are available that can extract audio from videos including the excellent Audacity but also Mediacoder or FLV Extract.

One of the most comfortable computer programs to extract audio from video files is X2X Free Audio Converter. It is possible to load multiple videos into the application and convert them in a batch process. Videos can be loaded from the build in file browser.

Many major video formats are supported by the audio extractor including avi, wmv, mov, mp4 or flv. The audio that gets extracted can be converted into various audio formats including mp3, ogg,wav, aac or wma.

The quality of the audio files can also be configured by the user from economy quality which uses a 64 Kbit to high quality encodings with 256 Kbit. A few advanced options are available that include trimming the video to extract only the audio from a specific part of it. The time it takes to extract the audio from the videos depends on the length and format of the videos.

X2X Free Audio Converter is definitely a pretty basic software program that does exactly what the user expects of it.

You can load one of the classical video editing tools, use specific audio editing tools like Audacity or use a simple but straightforward tool that does the job. The last option might be the most appropriate one if you normally do not work with audio or video editing software.

Instead of getting to know a software program that offers way more functions than needed a tool like Audio Extractor might be the better solution. Audio Extractor can convert many of the popular video formats into audio formats. Among the supported video formats are avi, mpeg and flash video that can be converted into mp3, wav or ac3 audio format.

Video files can be dragged and dropped into the main program window or selected by browsing the connected drives of the computer.

After the video files have been added to the application several output settings can be changed, namely the output audio format, the audio bitrate, the sample rate, channel and output folder.

There is also an option to select a specific range of the video clip and extract that part as audio skipping the other parts.

The main use that I see for an application like Audio Extractor is to download movies from Youtube and rip their audio. Youtube has virtually any new music video and lots of old stuff and it’s pretty easy to increase the own audio collection that way. You might want to check if it is legal in your country to do that before you start downloading hundreds of Youtube music videos.

If it is legal you have a great way of adding music to your music collection.
