Part 1 6 Best Free MP3 Converter for Windows 10 / 11
As promised, we start this off with the best audio converter (Windows 10/11) tools. We’ve decided to go very simple with this list, providing a brief description of all of the FREE MP3 Converters (Windows), a URL that will lead you to the website where you can get the converter, and an image that should show you how the converter’s interface looks like.
01EaseUs MobiMover
EaseUs MobiMover is an audio converter for Windows 10 and 11 that you can use in order to easily convert videos (in various formats) into MP3 (as is shown in the image below. It’s a FREEmium software though — which means that it’s use is limited until you purchase the paid version of the software.
02Freemake Video Converter
Freemake Video Converter is the first 100% FREE MP3 converter for Windows 10 on this list! They keep the software updated from donations, so you can choose how much money you can spare for using the service! It’s a very simple software besides (as is shown in the image below). It does feature some video editing tools, but its main function is conversion (which includes video-to-audio conversion!)
03VSDC
Much like Freemake, our next MP3 converter for Windows 10 and 11, called VSDC, is completely FREE — as they run primarily on donations. That does mean that it’s not the most advanced program though — evident from the rather old-school interface (shown in the image below). But, regardless of the lack of abundance in tools, it should function just fine as an audio-video-converter for Windows 10 (and vice versa.)
04Convertio.co
With Convertio.co, we break the mold a bit! This is not a software, but it does still work for Windows users — as it requires only that you have a working browser from which you can access the website (URL linked below!) As you can see from the image, it works much like most online MP3 converters — you upload a file from your desktop, wait for it to finish converting, and then download it!
05Free Convert
Free Convert is another online MP3 convert for Windows 10 users that would prefer not to download or install software. And, just like Covertio, it works by uploading the files you want to convert from your computer, waiting for the converters tool to finish converting it, and then downloading the finished product. It is, of course, FREE — but, similar to the first tool on this list, if you want to unlock some of its features, you’ll have to pay for the premium version.
06DVDVideoSoft
With DVDVideoSoft, we’re back to an audio-video converter for Windows 10 that you have to download and install to work! It’s a FREEmium software too. That means that you’ll have to pay in order to unlock certain features. But, it works as a solid converter even without that.
Part 2 6 Best Free and Paid Audio Editor for PC and Mac
For this next section, we turn our attention to a couple of MP3 editors (Windows 10 and Mac compatible.) This list will be a little more detailed than the first, since there are many differences between the tools that we’ll be introducing (both FREE and PAID), but it should give you a clear idea on which would work best for you.

● FREE, open-source software

Part 3 5 MP3 Music Players for Windows 10/11 PC
The last of the lists in this article is a short one for the best MP3 players for Windows 10! This is a straightforward list, much like the first. And, we’ll be focusing on MP3 players for Windows 10 only (although some of these will work for Mac as well!)
01iTunes
Despite appearances, iTunes actually makes for a great MP3 player for Windows 10 users. After all, it’s interface is clean and it is regularly updated. So, you never have to deal with bugs! (And just in case you weren’t aware, you can add your own original audio to your iTunes library! So, it isn’t like you have to purchase media from the iTunes store just to listen to it.)
02Groove Music
Groove Music is a local Mp3 player for Windows 10 that you can download from the Microsoft App Store. It functions much like iTunes — in that you can add original music or audio to the app library (as well as purchase audio from the store — if that’s what you want.)
03Macgo Media Player
Our next pick, Macgo, is not strictly an MP3 player for Windows 10, but it can work for that purpose if that’s all you need it for. As a media player though, it does function as a video player as well. And, like our previous picks, it’s FREE so you don’t have to worry about paying in order to use it.
04PowerDVD
Again, our next pick is more of a general media player than strictly a MP3 Player for Windows 10 users, but it works just as well if all you’re looking for is to occasionally play the audio that you’ve converted or trimmed!
05Musicbee
We’re back to strictly MP3 players for Windows with Musicbee! The best part of this app is, undoubtedly, the fact that it has several view options. So, if you want, you have your audio playing from a mini audio player (rather than the full interface — as is shown below). It’s also useful for organizing your media collection!
Part 4 How to Trim Mp3 on Windows 10 Easily
For this next part, we’re going to go over how you might go about trimming your converted audio with an MP3 cutter for Windows. (Note, a lot of the audio editors that we introduced in Part 2 of this article should be capable of this! And, they all work in much the same way.)
01Step 1: Launch MP3 Cutter for Windows 10! Start!
First, launch the MP3 cutter for Windows 10 that you downloaded.
For this example, we’ll be using Joyoshare Media Cutter. And, the way to start is to select the “Open” button, which will prompt you to choose which audio you want to cut.
02Step 2: Choose Output Option
Next, select the output format that you want your audio to be exported in. (Most MP3 cutters for Windows 10 offers a variety for you to choose from).
03Step 3: Select and Trim Mode!
Joyoshare has two methods of trimming available. The first is the select and trim mode, which is shown in the image below! For this, you use the sliders provider to select which portion of the audio you want to keep!
04Step 4: Use Encoder Trimmer
If you want a cleaner trim, you click the “Edit” icon beside the audio that you want to trim until you are moved to the encoder window (shown in the image below). This will allow you to pinpoint the best place to cut your audio!
05Step 5: Save Your Audio!
Once you’re done trimming, remember to save!
With Joyoshare, the method of doing this is to select the “Start” button, which will prompt the trimmer to begin cutting the audio.
Key Takeaways from This Episode
● There are multiple MP3 converters for Windows and Mac that you can use in order to convert videos to an audio file that you can use for certain projects.
● Of course, if you want your finished project to sound clean, you’ll probably need a functional audio editor for that! And, for this matter, we recommend advanced video editing software like Filmora Pro.

● If you find that your audio needs some trimming, a quick trim with an audio cutter should do the trick. It’s very simple to do!

Part 3 5 MP3 Music Players for Windows 10/11 PC
The last of the lists in this article is a short one for the best MP3 players for Windows 10! This is a straightforward list, much like the first. And, we’ll be focusing on MP3 players for Windows 10 only (although some of these will work for Mac as well!)
01iTunes
Despite appearances, iTunes actually makes for a great MP3 player for Windows 10 users. After all, it’s interface is clean and it is regularly updated. So, you never have to deal with bugs! (And just in case you weren’t aware, you can add your own original audio to your iTunes library! So, it isn’t like you have to purchase media from the iTunes store just to listen to it.)
02Groove Music
Groove Music is a local Mp3 player for Windows 10 that you can download from the Microsoft App Store. It functions much like iTunes — in that you can add original music or audio to the app library (as well as purchase audio from the store — if that’s what you want.)
03Macgo Media Player
Our next pick, Macgo, is not strictly an MP3 player for Windows 10, but it can work for that purpose if that’s all you need it for. As a media player though, it does function as a video player as well. And, like our previous picks, it’s FREE so you don’t have to worry about paying in order to use it.
04PowerDVD
Again, our next pick is more of a general media player than strictly a MP3 Player for Windows 10 users, but it works just as well if all you’re looking for is to occasionally play the audio that you’ve converted or trimmed!
05Musicbee
We’re back to strictly MP3 players for Windows with Musicbee! The best part of this app is, undoubtedly, the fact that it has several view options. So, if you want, you have your audio playing from a mini audio player (rather than the full interface — as is shown below). It’s also useful for organizing your media collection!
Part 4 How to Trim Mp3 on Windows 10 Easily
For this next part, we’re going to go over how you might go about trimming your converted audio with an MP3 cutter for Windows. (Note, a lot of the audio editors that we introduced in Part 2 of this article should be capable of this! And, they all work in much the same way.)
01Step 1: Launch MP3 Cutter for Windows 10! Start!
First, launch the MP3 cutter for Windows 10 that you downloaded.
For this example, we’ll be using Joyoshare Media Cutter. And, the way to start is to select the “Open” button, which will prompt you to choose which audio you want to cut.
02Step 2: Choose Output Option
Next, select the output format that you want your audio to be exported in. (Most MP3 cutters for Windows 10 offers a variety for you to choose from).
03Step 3: Select and Trim Mode!
Joyoshare has two methods of trimming available. The first is the select and trim mode, which is shown in the image below! For this, you use the sliders provider to select which portion of the audio you want to keep!
04Step 4: Use Encoder Trimmer
If you want a cleaner trim, you click the “Edit” icon beside the audio that you want to trim until you are moved to the encoder window (shown in the image below). This will allow you to pinpoint the best place to cut your audio!
05Step 5: Save Your Audio!
Once you’re done trimming, remember to save!
With Joyoshare, the method of doing this is to select the “Start” button, which will prompt the trimmer to begin cutting the audio.

Part 1 6 Best Free MP3 Converter for Windows 10 / 11
As promised, we start this off with the best audio converter (Windows 10/11) tools. We’ve decided to go very simple with this list, providing a brief description of all of the FREE MP3 Converters (Windows), a URL that will lead you to the website where you can get the converter, and an image that should show you how the converter’s interface looks like.
01EaseUs MobiMover
EaseUs MobiMover is an audio converter for Windows 10 and 11 that you can use in order to easily convert videos (in various formats) into MP3 (as is shown in the image below. It’s a FREEmium software though — which means that it’s use is limited until you purchase the paid version of the software.
02Freemake Video Converter
Freemake Video Converter is the first 100% FREE MP3 converter for Windows 10 on this list! They keep the software updated from donations, so you can choose how much money you can spare for using the service! It’s a very simple software besides (as is shown in the image below). It does feature some video editing tools, but its main function is conversion (which includes video-to-audio conversion!)
03VSDC
Much like Freemake, our next MP3 converter for Windows 10 and 11, called VSDC, is completely FREE — as they run primarily on donations. That does mean that it’s not the most advanced program though — evident from the rather old-school interface (shown in the image below). But, regardless of the lack of abundance in tools, it should function just fine as an audio-video-converter for Windows 10 (and vice versa.)
04Convertio.co
With Convertio.co, we break the mold a bit! This is not a software, but it does still work for Windows users — as it requires only that you have a working browser from which you can access the website (URL linked below!) As you can see from the image, it works much like most online MP3 converters — you upload a file from your desktop, wait for it to finish converting, and then download it!
05Free Convert
Free Convert is another online MP3 convert for Windows 10 users that would prefer not to download or install software. And, just like Covertio, it works by uploading the files you want to convert from your computer, waiting for the converters tool to finish converting it, and then downloading the finished product. It is, of course, FREE — but, similar to the first tool on this list, if you want to unlock some of its features, you’ll have to pay for the premium version.
06DVDVideoSoft
With DVDVideoSoft, we’re back to an audio-video converter for Windows 10 that you have to download and install to work! It’s a FREEmium software too. That means that you’ll have to pay in order to unlock certain features. But, it works as a solid converter even without that.
Part 2 6 Best Free and Paid Audio Editor for PC and Mac
For this next section, we turn our attention to a couple of MP3 editors (Windows 10 and Mac compatible.) This list will be a little more detailed than the first, since there are many differences between the tools that we’ll be introducing (both FREE and PAID), but it should give you a clear idea on which would work best for you.
01Wondershare Filmora

02Audacity
Operating System: Windows/Mac/Linux
Today’s Best Deals: FREE
Audacity is an MP3 editor (Windows 10, Max, and Linux compatible!) The difference between this tool and our first pick, Filmora Pro, is that Audacity is an open-source software — this means that it is free to use, but it also means that it might not be the most reliable as it is not updated quite as often.
Reasons to Buy:
● FREE, open-source software
● Advanced video and audio editing tools
● MP3 trimming/cutting feature
Reasons to Avoid:

Next up is Ashampoo’s Music Studio 8! Here’s another freemium software that you can try for free — just to make sure it’s the tool that you’re looking for, but you’ll have to pay a price to use in its entirety! As you can see from the interface (shown in the image below) though, it’s quite the effective MP3 cutter for Windows 10 (among other things). So, if that’s what you’re looking for, then it’s a good choice to consider.
Reasons to Buy:
● Clean, modern interface
● Beginner-friendly editing tools
● One-time fee only
Reasons to Avoid:
● Freemium software (one-time payment required)

Reasons to Buy:
● Beginner-friendly audio editor
● Simple, clean interface
● Available for Windows/Mac/Linux
Reasons to Avoid:

Solution for Choosing Fast YouTube to MP4 Video Converter
An easy yet powerful editor
Numerous effects to choose from
Detailed tutorials provided by the official channel
The need for YouTube to MP4 video converters has drastically risen even though we know that YouTube videos are easily downloadable to loads of formats.
In this guide, we’ll look in detail at the YouTube to MP4 video converters and a lot more related to them.
In this article

02 [Why Choose Online YouTube to MP4 Converter?](#Part 2)
Part 1 The Only Guide You’ll Ever Need to Learn about YouTube to MP4 Video Converter
01What is the MP4 format?
MP4 files were executed under the ISO/IEC 14496-12:2001 standard by the IEC/ISO and Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG). MP4 is an international specification for audio-visual coding only because of this.
The high degree of compression used in MP4 videos assists the files to be much smaller in size than other video formats. Minimizing the file size doesn’t suddenly affect the file quality, either. Almost the entire original quality retains, making MP4 a web-friendly and portable video format.

02Pros and Cons of the MP4 format
Pros of the MP4 format
One of the critical merits of the MP4 format is that it can be valuable on different platforms.
● It consists of a high degree of compression while producing smaller file sizes, making it a perfect fit for compressing or video streaming HD audio-video files.
● An MP4 file can contain metadata and Extensible Meta Data Platform such as images based on PNG or JPEG format, subtitles, among others, and PDF.
● Compatible with metadata integrable with 3D graphics, user navigation or menus options, and other user interaction features.
● There are numerous open-source players, such as VLC Media Player, that offer full format support, even used on Linux OS.
● It is also versatile. For example, audio files coded with the M4A extension and MPEG-4 visual bitstreams encoded in the M4V extension.
Cons of the MP4 format
Note that the format is a container. This means that instead of storing the ode for the file, it keeps the data. Moreover, a specific MP4 file is based upon particular codecs because it does not have a native way of managing the involved coding.
A possible drawback is that there are hundreds of codecs available. Therefore, a media player must run a set of codecs concerning a particular MP4 file.
Yet, because the container format has become widely used, widely-supported codecs have become standards.
● Audio can drift out of the way or connect with the video in specific scenarios because of codec-player or codecs compatibility issues.
● Because a single file can contain video and audio and different metadata, editing or playback or editing needs various computing resources.
● It is still a lossy format. A higher compression format and smaller file size would result in audio and video quality losses.
● The familiarity of the MP4 format, coupled with its portability, has also enabled the illegal distribution of copyrighted audio-video files.

10 Best Open Source Video Editors in 2024 [Free]
Check out this list of best open source video editors that you can use to produce long-form content for YouTube, your online marketplace, or several other venues when you’re on a small budget:
For Win 7 or later (64-bit)
Secure Download
For macOS 10.14 or later
Secure Download
1. OpenShot
OpenShot is a free and open-source video editor with no premium features. In contrast, the website provides a donation option. You may use the complete range of functions without paying anything. This works with all versions of Windows, including Windows 7, Mac OS 10.15, and most Linux variants.
For a free site, it also has a fairly large variety of graphic effects, ranging from title themes and video transitions to 3D animations. OpenShot also differs from many other video editors in that it is updated regularly.
Unlike some other systems, OpenShot has had many major versions in 2021 alone, which addressed issues and added new capabilities. However, many users have reported substantial slowdowns when using OpenShot, so remember to look out for any efficiency difficulties.
Pros
- Easy-to-use interface
- Unlimited layers
- Super engaging
Cons
- It sometimes lags, which is inconvenient
2. Shotcut
Shotcut is a cross-platform, open-source video editing software with a large library of instructional videos. It also works with FFmpeg, 4K , ProRes, and DNxHD, among other formats. However, because Shotcut was created for Linux, many users may find the UI a little strange. Regardless, it’s still a fantastic editor.
Shotcut also has a lot of sound editing capabilities, so it’s great for audiophiles. Customers may change bass and treble, construct bandpass filters, alter gain, apply dynamic compression, and more with its array of audio fine-tuning options. FFmpeg, the dominant multimedia foundation, provides shortcut support for the newest video and audio codecs.
The native timeline editing enables customers to instantly add video files into their project folder instead of using a media library. A project uses multi-format timelines to mix up resolutions and frames per second.
Pros
- Excellent editing features
- Offers decoding and encoding features
- Multi-format timeline
Cons
- Takes a good chunk of space on your computer
3. Lightworks
Another famous video editor that can be downloaded for free is Lightworks . Lightworks is compatible with most major operating systems and devices, such as Mac, Windows, and Linux. Nevertheless, because there is no Lightworks application for iOS or Android, the system is only available on the PC at this time.
Lightworks is a powerful platform, featuring transitions, timeline-based editing, cloud and local storing, and no watermarks on the final video, yet being completely free to use. As a result, several additional features are only available with a Lightworks subscription account.
The premium edition of Lightworks charges $23.99 monthly, $239.99 annually, or $389.99 for a lifetime membership for a single user. In less than two years, the annual and monthly choices would cost more than a lifetime membership, so if you want to use Lightworks for a lot longer, you should select for lifetime access.
Pros
- A nice video editor with a lot of options
- Ideal tool for YouTube video makers who wish to edit their videos regularly
- Offers smooth service
Cons
- Only one option to save the project to MP4

Lightworks is a powerful platform, featuring transitions, timeline-based editing, cloud and local storing, and no watermarks on the final video, yet being completely free to use. As a result, several additional features are only available with a Lightworks subscription account.
The premium edition of Lightworks charges $23.99 monthly, $239.99 annually, or $389.99 for a lifetime membership for a single user. In less than two years, the annual and monthly choices would cost more than a lifetime membership, so if you want to use Lightworks for a lot longer, you should select for lifetime access.

- Ideal tool for YouTube video makers who wish to edit their videos regularly
