You can use the open-source media converter Shutter Encoder, which can convert MKV to MP3. It is widely used by content creators and professionals for media encoding and audio extraction tasks.
How to Convert MKV to MP3
Step 1: Download and launch the software.
Step 2: Drag and drop all MKV files into the program’s file list.
Step 3: Open the Options menu and select MP3 under the Audio Conversion category.
Step 4: Go to the settings panel on the right and set the audio bitrate to 320 kbps.
Finally, click the Start Conversion button at the bottom to begin processing.
The software can extract audio tracks and convert them in batches, making it ideal for users who want full control over audio encoding parameters during media conversion.
Pros:
- Open-source software that supports batch processing of multiple MKV files
- Allows customization of audio bitrate to control output audio quality
- Delivers stable encoding performance
Cons:
- Too many configuration options
- No dedicated one-click preset for MKV audio extraction
- The program takes up a relatively large amount of disk space
