Can I convert mp4 video to mp3 audio?

Post by Eternal_Freedom »

I have an mp4 video I downloaded from Youtube that I would very much like to put on my phone as a ringtone. My phone can only play audio tracks as ringtones (the phone is an HTC Desire HD if anyone knows different).

Does anyone know of a way (that is free and relatively simple) to rip the soundtrack off an mp4 video?

Baltar: "What are you babbling about other...it's impossible!"
Centurion: "No. It is a Battlestar."

The easiest way would be to extract the AAC audio file from the MP4 file. YAMB can do that.

VLC can extract audio, for Android I can recommend the free application Ringdroid
