O.P. RE: Audio extraction without recompressing?
Blah.... :p

Any audiophile will tell you that recompressing data that's been compressed using a lossy codec is a bad idea. The quality will always degrade somewhat (depending on how you recompress the data and how it was compressed before). But even if you take an MP3 that's compressed at 64 KBPS and recompress it at 320 KBPS, the quality will not improve. The source compression can never be exceeded by the new one, and is most likely to be in better quality.

And besides, it's such a waste! Why degrade the quality? Why decompress the audio, and then compress it again?? Why?!? It's already there, perfectly compressed! :'(

Well anyway, it looks like no software can do it (stupid WMV!:blah:), so I guess I'm forced to recompress... :(
