TOKYO (MacHouse) – After being sick of writing code for two weeks, I’m finally back on my feet. A new software title that I submitted toMac App Store several minutes ago is called AudioHack.

AudioHack is a desktop application that lets you extract an audio track out of a video file (MOV, MP4, MPEG, MPG…). You can save an audio track as a Core Audio file (.caf) or an MPEG-4 file (.m4a) to your disk.

1. The application did not check the Internet connection when the user attempted to access a video file on a remote server.

Click here to download a trial version. This trial version will remain fully functional for 7 days, starting from the very moment you first launch it. If you are running this trial version under macOS 10.12 Sierra, you need to quit the application right after the first launch to evade a Sierra bug.
