What Is Audio Extraction?
Audio extraction (also called 'ripping audio from video' or 'demuxing') separates the audio track from a video file and saves it as a standalone audio file. The original video file is not modified. You simply get a copy of the audio that was embedded in the video, in a standard audio format such as MP3 or WAV. No quality is lost compared to the audio in the original video.
