So let’s get started

Once you have clicked on our MP4 to MP3 download program and installed it, your Audio Transcoder is ready to use right away. When installing it we recommend that you select the default selections unless you are an advanced user. Once you open the program you will see a dashboard that resembles a windows directory tree (Folder Explorer). You will see at the top there are two tabs - 1. Audio CD Ripper and 2. Audio Converter, a large blank space that we call the Drop Zone is on the right hand side of the directory tree area.

Step 1 - Select the MP4 files for conversion

Select the Audio Converter Tab. You will see it opens your music library. You can also browse for a specific audio file location, for example, via an external drive. Using the Folder Explorer browse for the MP4 Files that you would like to convert to MP3. You can drop and drag them into the ‘Drop Zone’ on the right hand side of the Folder Explorer. You can do it one at a time, or using <shift + mouse click> you can select many files at the same time. You can even select your entire music library for a bulk conversion.
When you are satisfied with the list that you have created, you are ready to do the next step which promises lightning fast MP4 to MP3 for iTunes, VLC, Audacity or any other program you use.
*TIP* before you get started, you may wish to organise your music folder so that the MP4 titles are already sorted into a section of your music library. This will make the batch conversion process even faster. A good option for MP4 to MP3 foobar users.

Step 2 - Configure your conversion settings

Once you have selected the MP4 files to convert to MP3, you will need to see the output tab in the bottom third of the screen. Here is where you can fine tune how you wish the converted MP3 files to sound and behave. You can overwrite existing files or skip certain files in this process.
You can select the location for the new files to be stored. For example, you can store the converted files in a music folder, desktop or even a portable drive, CD or direct to your phone via USB or WI-FI transfer. The enhanced software version also allows for the MP4 + cue file to be configured so you can accurately have a break between tracks. Audio Transcoder recognises the cue file and splits it from the MP4 file accordingly. This is sometimes missed in other conversion methods.
As you are seeking to convert MP4 to MP3, next you should select MP3 in the drop down dialog box. You can select the bitrate, sample rate and the number of channels. For good quality make sure that you select above 44.1 kHz. We recommend using the bit rate of 128 kbps. In the settings box you can select additional options such as the channels. For superior performance and listening enjoyment we recommend that you choose mono as the channel.
If you are satisfied with the customised settings you are ready for the transcoding or conversion step. This is the easiest step of all and is a great way to reduce the size of your music library. You will have your MP4 to MP3 via VLC or other media library formats.

Step 3 - Converting MP4 to MP3 with a click of the mouse

Now that you have selected your MP4 files and selected your output settings, all that is left to do now is to press ‘convert’ which is highlighted with a treble clef icon. Once you have clicked convert, a dialog box will open to track the progress of the MP42MP3 conversion. If you want to stop the conversion at any time, you can click the stop button.
During the conversion process, or before you start, you can specify the priority from idle to high. You are also able to set an automatic process when the conversion is finished. You do not have to ‘babysit’ the program and you can just let it run. It will even turn off your PC/Laptop when it is finished, if you have selected this.
