How to convert mp4 to mp3 free in Windows 11?

I've downloaded random converters before, and it’s super frustrating when they just don’t support MP4 files. Always check that the software or online tool explicitly mentions support converting MP4 to MP3. Learning this the hard way can be a real time-waster. Sometimes, when you convert files, the default settings may compress the audio too much. I once ended up with an MP3 that sounded like it was recorded through a tin can! Before you hit convert, check the settings and choose a higher bitrate if you want to maintain sound quality.

After converting, I’ve had files scattered everywhere. It’s best to create a designated folder for your converted files or rename them on the spot. You don’t want to search through a messy Downloads folder later on! If you care about things like album art or song titles, some conversion tools don’t handle metadata well. I’ve lost some really cool album covers in the past because I forgot about that. Look for tools that maintain or allow you to edit metadata.
