The process of extracting audio from online video platforms and converting it into a specific audio file format, characterized by a data compression rate of 64 kilobits per second, involves digitally encoding the sound component of a video into an MP3 file. This digital encoding aims to minimize file size. For example, converting a lecture or a song found on a popular video-sharing website into a smaller, easily portable audio file exemplifies this process.
This specific compression rate offers a balance between file size and perceived audio quality. The resulting audio file is significantly smaller than the original video, facilitating easier storage and sharing. Historically, this practice arose with the proliferation of portable music players and the need for efficient data storage, as well as limitations in early internet bandwidth.
