Conversion between the two formats works in a pretty simple manner. The MP4 file format contains both video and audio, whereas the MP3 file format only contains audio. That being the case, an MP4 file can be converted into an MP3 file by simply stripping away its video contents. Converting an MP3 file into an MP4 file doesn’t go as smoothly, however, as it is not generally possible to add a video to an audio file and turn it into an MP4 file. There are a boatload of different applications and programs designed for the Windows Operating System that is capable of converting MP4 files into MP3 files. In fact, even Microsoft’s native media player for the Windows Operating System – Windows Media Player – is capable of converting MP4 files into MP3 files.
