It might be that you want just the audio portion of the file for your own purposes. Or perhaps you are storing massive amounts of files on a physical drive or up in the cloud, and you want to save money by reducing the size of your files.
Just remember, once you’ve converted to MP3, the video portion of your file will be lost, and will not be recoverable if you decide to convert back to MP4 at a later date.
