The process involves acquiring audio content from a video-sharing platform and converting it into a widely compatible audio file format. For example, a user might extract the music from a live concert recording available online and save it as an individual track on their device.
This practice allows for offline access to audio, circumventing the need for constant internet connectivity. Historically, it provided a method for archiving online content when official download options were unavailable, granting users greater control over their media consumption.
