How to convert video to audio on my PC?

When converting video to audio on a PC, there are several key factors to consider to ensure quality, compatibility, and efficiency, especially for choosing the correct audio settings.

Audio Format

Select a format based on your needs:

1. MP3 (most compatible, good balance of quality & size)
2. AAC (better quality than MP3 at similar bitrates)
3. FLAC/WAV (lossless, best for editing but large files)

Bitrate

Higher bitrates (e.g., 256–320 kbps for MP3) improve audio quality but increase file size. For casual listening, 128–192 kbps may suffice.

Sample Rate

Stick to 44.1 kHz (standard for music) unless you need professional editing (e.g., 48 kHz or higher).

After converting video to audio on PC, please verify that metadata (artist, album, track name) is preserved. Tools like MP3Tag can help edit this. Rename files logically (e.g., "Artist - Song Title.mp3") for easier organization. Store converted files in a dedicated folder to avoid losing them.

By paying attention to these details, you can ensure high-quality audio extraction without unnecessary hassles.
