How to Convert an AVI to an MP3 File

AVI is a video format, while MP3 is an audio format. But sometimes you want to take the audio from an AVI file with you on your MP3 player. When this is the case, your best bet is to convert the audio from an AVI file into an MP3. Once you convert the audio it will be compatible with almost every MP3 player, so you can listen to the audio from your favorite video files whenever you want.
