The action of converting a collection of videos from a popular online video platform into a series of audio files in the MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 format allows for offline listening. For example, a user may choose to extract the audio from a curated group of musical performances and save them as individual sound files.
This capability offers several advantages, including the conservation of mobile data, access to content in areas with limited or no internet connectivity, and compatibility with a wide range of devices that support the ubiquitous sound file format. The rise of this functionality reflects a consumer desire to repurpose online video content for audio-only enjoyment, mirroring the traditional practice of recording music from radio broadcasts.
