How to Extract Audio Part 1

Here's a way to extract audio (sweet song/awsome soundtrack??) from a video clip-the open source software way.
Just because this is my first instructable, I'm not asking you to go easy on me. All criticism wanted!!

Get Software

Go to http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ and download audacity.

Get Video Clip

Go FILE-OPEN and select your clip
then hit OPEN

Highlight Audio

Go on, play around a bit! you cannot hurt the program it is your friend.
Once you have found the selection of audio you want then click and drag your mouse over the desired music

Trim (and No I Do Not Mean a Cheap Haircut!!)

Once you have selected the bit you want then go EDIT-TRIM

Export

Once you have completed all the other steps (and if you have not then go and do them now!!!) re-highlight your selection and go FILE-EXPORT SELECTION AS WAV.
Then I assume you have enough knowledge to save the file (if not then message me and I will help)

Finale

Now open the file and enjoy with your default music player.
Part 2 will use Adobe products for the rich or shameless software pirates (I feel your Pain!!)
Part 3 (Hopefully) will use hardware

Until we meet again..
