Wow, what a great app!

I’ve been struggling to extract audio from a Google+ Hangouts on Air video file (which downloads as an MP4 video file from YouTube) for my podcast. I tried to extract the audio using Quicktime but I kept getting an “unknown error”.

I Googled for help, but there weren’t any solutions. So I tried to convert it to audio using iTunes. I can’t stand the iTunes interface but I gave it a shot by importing the MP4 video file into my iTunes library and in prefrences clicking on “Create new version” but the audio file was greyed out (I tried as MP3 and AIFF - neither worked). I Googled that some more to try to figure out why that wasn’t working, but came up without a fix.

I was very frustrated and annoyed so I searched for other ways of doing this easily and I found this app. Cheapskarte that I am, I was hesitant to pay for the app when supposdely I could do this for free with Quicktimes and iTunes, but I couldn’t take wasting any more time, so I bought it.

It took less than five minutes (way less) to convert it!

I dragged the 124 MB MP4 video file into this app, I selected the MP3 option and boom the app convereted the MP4 video file into an MP3 audio file. It was so easy that at first I thought I missed a step until I realized the MP3 was already saved to my computer!

Easy to use. Fantastic interface. And very, very fast! I wish I what have found this app before wasting hours trying to figure out how to do this on Quicktime or iTunes. Totally worth the low-price for this app.

Awesome app!
