How to Convert Mpeg to Audio
MPEG is an acronym that stands for "Motion Picture Experts Group". Typically files that contain a .mpg file extension contain both video and audio data. MPEG movie files can be played on many different digital movie players. They cannot, however, be played on a portable music device that does not support video. Therefore, if you want to listen to the audio content of an MPEG file, you will need to convert the file into an audio only format. You can convert an MPEG file into several different audio file formats free of charge using a conversion website. There are two major websites that perform this conversion for free. Also, both of these websites will work for you regardless of what operating system you are using. You can also use a third-party application, but those cost money to purchase and may not be compatible with your operating system.
