Rip the audio out of a WEBM file and turn it into a 320 kbps MP3 that plays on iPhone, in your car, or anywhere else. WEBM uses Opus audio that most consumer hardware refuses to play — converting to MP3 is the fastest fix.

About the WEBM and MP3 formats
WEBM
WEBM is an open, royalty-free video container built around the VP9 codec (or AV1) and Opus audio. It is the default format YouTube serves to modern browsers because it compresses smaller than MP4 at the same quality. The trade-off: Apple’s ecosystem and many older players still refuse to open WEBM files.
MP3
MP3 is the most compatible audio format ever made. It plays on every device built in the last 25 years, from a $5 Bluetooth speaker to a Tesla, and 320 kbps MP3 is sonically indistinguishable from CD for most listeners. Pick MP3 when you want a file that will simply play, everywhere, without anyone asking what a codec is.
