How to Convert MP3 to MP4
The increased popularity of new media players which only read MP4 formatted media files has caused a problem for many people. The new MP4 technology reads both audio and video files. Because they cannot use MP4 in the old media players, and because the new players do not use MP3 files, many people have to convert their MP3 formatted files to the MP4 format in order to use the media files they already possess.
Items you will Need:
- Free download or trial version audio to video converter
- MP4 codec if needed
- Determine the appropriate audio/video converter you need. Search the Internet for the appropriate one for your new media player. Exercise caution here since some of these converters will just convert MP4 to MP3 format and not the other way around.
