Why convert AVI audio to MP3?

Converting AVI audio to MP3 creates widely compatible, smaller audio files suitable for portable playback and streaming, extracted from the video container.

Can all AVI files be converted to MP3?

Only AVI files with supported audio codecs can have their audio extracted and converted to MP3 using this tool.

Does this conversion affect audio quality?

Yes, since MP3 is a lossy compression format, some audio detail may be lost, especially at low bitrates.
