MPEG to MP3

[theozzlives]

I want to extract the audio out of a MPEG to make a MP3 so I can listen to it in my car. How do I do it???

Try

ffmpeg -i input_file.mpg -f mp3 output_file.mp3

[theozzlives]

Try

ffmpeg -i input_file.mpg -f mp3 output_file.mp3

didn't work, just gave me a ">" prompt, will audacity do it?

nevermind, it works... thanks

try this:
mplayer -dumpaudio inputfile.mpg -dumpfile outputfile.mp3

*edit* never mind, seems you got the ffmpeg command working.
