Extracting the auditory component from video-sharing platforms enables users to acquire the sound portion of a video file separately. For example, instead of saving an entire music video, a user can obtain only the song itself as an audio file, like an MP3.
This practice offers several advantages. It allows for focused listening, conserving storage space by avoiding the video portion. Historically, this functionality has been sought after for educational content, music, podcasts, and lectures, reflecting a demand for audio-centric accessibility.
