Every now and then I'll have a movie I want to extract the audio from and convert to MP3. While this is rather easy – export the audio with QuickTime Pro, convert the AIFF to MP3 with iTunes – I find that even these steps are a bit too long. This is where I came upon the idea of writing an AppleScript to do all the hard work.
You do not need QuickTime Pro to use the script.
You can download the AppleScript from this link.
I find that placing the AppleScript into the Finder's toolbar puts it in an easy to drag-and-drop location. To use the script, simply drop the video file onto the script. The script will ask you where you want to save the audio files to. In the folder that you choose, there will be two folders created: one for the AIFF audio files and one for the MP3 audio files. Your final MP3 files will be placed in the MP3 folder.
