Convert Video To Audio: From Online Videos To MP3 - Sharewood Guide

Sponsored Links

Online video to MP3 conversion tools are web-based services designed to easily convert any video file into an MP3 audio-only file format, without requiring you to register or to download or install any software.

Video to MP3 conversion tools generally provide the possibility of uploading your video files to be converted directly from your computer, or, in the case of video already published online, of pointing them by using their specific web address.

Some of these video to audio conversion tools also enable you to output your original selected video to a variety of other audio and video file formats. Conversion features and controls may include bitrate settings, max video file size, resolution and quality.

Here the two basic steps you need to take to convert your selected video clip into an .MP3 audio file:

  1. Grab the video URL of the video you wish to convert, or upload it from your local hard drive
  2. Click the convert button, and wait for your MP3 file to be processed and ready for download

If you are now convinced of the ease and effectiveness of these video to audio conversion tools, you may want to check this comparison table I have prepared where I have put side by side the differentiating characteristics of the video to audio conversion services I have found on the net.

  • Max file size: Indicated in minutes or MegaBytes, the maximum dimensions of the video that will be converted
  • YouTube only: Determines whether the service only supports YouTube or even other sharing services (Blip.tv, DailyMotion, Veoh...)
  • Hard drive or direct URL upload: Gives you the possibility of uploading a video directly from your PC and/or by providing its direct URL
  • Other available formats: Shows if other output formats, rather than MP3 only, are available

Here the comparison table and a full set of small reviews introducing the best video to audio conversion services available online:
