Converting MP4 to MP3?

[rogertalks]

Howdy!

I'm very new to the Adobe suite-- my university provides us with free student accounts, or I'd never be able to afford it-- so I'm still trying to get my footing with how to use the Adobe Web features that I have access to. I admit I'm often more than a little frustrated with the UI, but I am sure it's just about a learning curve.

Here's the full situation:

One of my professors shares the lecture recordings as MP4 files, which we can download. I want to be able to set them up as an audio-only playlist in my phone so I can study (albeit in a somewhat ambient way) while I'm on the move. I prefer to listen to the recordings at 1.5 speed, and if I do set these up as a playlist of audio files, I will no longer be able to control playback speed. 

So, my goal is to:

1.  Edit the mp4 files to be at 1.5x speed.
2.  Convert the files to mp3.
3.  Various import and synchronization processes that have nothing to do with Adobe.

I've uploaded the first mp4, as a test, and have successfully gotten it to 1.5x speed with no trouble. But I can't for the life of me figure out a way to convert to/download as MP3. Am I missing something? Or does Adobe Express really just not have that feature?

Hey @rogertalks, Welcome to our Adobe Express Community! 

You've taken the right approach to completing the task you wanted to complete. However, converting MP4 to MP3 is not currently possible with the Adobe Express app. You may need to use other Adobe applications to do this. You may try Adobe Podcast, another free app that can help you. 

Let us know if this helps!

Best,
