How to Convert FLV to MP3 on Mac
Flash Video (FLV) is viewable on most operating systems via the Adobe Flash Player and web browser plugin. If you've downloaded videos online, there's a good chance that the video is in flash video format. However, some devices (e.g. iPod and iPhone) have no support for FLV videos. And sometimes, you might want to listen to the FLV videos while you're on the go. In this case, it's best for you to convert FLV to MP3. This post on how to convert FLV to MP3 will cover 2 different ways:
Way 1: Convert FLV to MP3 Offline
With the help of FLV to MP3 converter (officially name Video Converter for Mac), anyone can convert .flv files to MP3 without even internet connection or any professional skills.

Way 2: Convert FLV to MP3 Online
With good internet connection, you could use the free online FLV to MP3 converters provided in Way 2. Before you get started, you need to be aware of the 2 limitations:
- 1. You can't set the audio quality since the conversion will all be automatic.
- 2. Usually there's a size limit for videos to be converted (some have a 100MB limit, some have a 250MB limit).
online-convert.com
online-convert.com is a website from which you will be able to upload your ".flv" files and convert them into multiple formats. It also enables you to upload .flv videos (e.g. from Youtube) as well as other video file formats and extract the audio track to MP3.
Convert.Files
ConvertFiles.com allows users to convert FLV videos of size limit of 250 MB which is larger than a lot of other websites that have a size limit of 100MB. You can upload local FLV videos or paste the URL of your video. Then select MP3 as your output format.
flv2mp3.com
flv2mp3.com allows you to enter the URL of the video site and then get the audio in MP3 format. It also gives you the option to download desktop software and convert video into other formats.
Now the MP3 files are ready to be transferred to your iPod, MP3 player, Android phone and other devices for listening. Finally I'd like to inform you that for both methods, you need to have the FLV videos downloaded first. If they are still online, a Video Downloader for Mac could assist you in downloading videos from any online websites.
