How to Convert MOV file to MP3 for iTunes or Garageband on Mac OS X
If you have some MOV files but you only get the audio but no video, you can compromise by extract audio from it and then listen to it. Or you might want to extract the episode or the audio of a movie for playback on your iPod, or to create your own masterpiece in Garageband. The question is: how to convert MOV to MP3?
If you already have QuickTime (Pro), you can use file/Export-->'Sound to wave' or 'Sound to aiff' to extract the audio track. After that, import the audio track into iTunes and you can convert it to mp3.
But it’s not necessary to get QuickTime 7 Pro, which cost $29.99, to extract MP3 audio from MOV file. Quicktime Pro only allows you to export files playable in QuickTime Player to a format for iPhone, iPod, Apple TV or a variety of other devices. Since many popular video formats are not compatible with QuickTime, you need to install QuickTime components for separate formats.
A professional MOV to MP3 Video to Audio Converter for Mac, only $25, saves you the hassle of figuring out how to install all these components and provides a more powerful yet easy way to extract MP3 from MOV file.
