    Thank you, this is very detailed. Take note on this very important step, I was facing a lot of problems on the "Destination File" process and giving a file name. You have to put the extension at the end of your file name, which is ".mp3". Otherwise, your VLC won't be showing the blue loading line and you'll just be sitting there dumbfounded.

    Important: Make sure the REPEAT option is OFF in the video playback settings BEFORE you start converting a file. Otherwise VLC will be stuck in and endless conversion loop, asking to overwrite the file, again and again, until you kill the task.

    • @thomasz4981
      @thomasz4981 3 роки тому +9

      Yes, it pays to read comments. I was quiting after overwriting a few times & it worked but your way is easier. Just a note , repeat is the loop icon at the bottom.

    Very good guide, and the best thing is , you can also use this to mass convert 100 files at once... I had a folder with 178 music mp4 and i could convert them all in one go with this method with a few mouse clicks (obviously the converting process took more time)

  • @WildBillCox13

    Thank you.
    I had lapsed in my creating MP3 files on Audacity, moving to MP4 performances in front of my Logitech C920. I have a fan-wonderful thing-and she asked for a CD. My most recent MP3 files were from 2020 . . . and I give more definitive performances of several songs in the present. I viewed this video to learn how to convert all those recent MP4 files into MP3 using VLC (a favorite freeware). It was successful and the result is exactly what I hoped for.
    Thank you.

    really helpful as a producer there's certain sounds that I want to capture out of sometimes 10 hour long music sounds like ambience and I don't have the capacity neither the time to capture and download 10 hours worth of music so I screen record it through my computer and turn it into mp3. Very helpful and I hope this comment gave any producers an idea on what they can do too. I'm just starting out though so I'm a bit of a beginner lmao.

    OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I’ve been searching for a way to convert large mp4 files to mp3 without paying an unnecessary amount on free online converters for way too long. This helps a lot. Since I’m dealing with a lot of large files recording games & converting music & audio, I had to find a free alternative than the online versions I’m used to. Definitely will be using vlc for now on more now 😁

    • @willvan7685
      @willvan7685 3 роки тому +2

      Actually I have an idea;
      Did you set a 'destination' for the file?
      Because that doesn't actually mean where the files are sent to, it just means what the mp3 is saved as.
      From what I remember, VLC shouldn't let you set the 'destination' for multiple files.
