Converting an MP4 to MP3 can be done by using any number of free conversion programs (e.g., Any Video Converter). MP4, or Moving Picture Expert Group-4, is a video format. It is used frequently by portable devices such as cell phones and MP3 players. MP3, or MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, is a common audio format. Naturally, if you convert an MP4 file to MP3, it will only capture the audio from the MP4 file. MP3 files can be burned by all CD/DVD burning programs (e,g,. Nero).
