A possible way would be to open the file with iTunes, right click on it in song list and select ”Create MP3 version“.
If there's no such item in your context menu (the standard item is ”Create AAC Version“), you first have to select ”MP3 Encoder“ in iTunes preferences > General > ”Import Settings…“.
Neither of those work. It goes into Movies, not songs. Movies can't be converted into MP3s.
Open the file with QuickTime X player, then go to the menu File > Export and select Format Audio Only. Export the file and then use iTunes to do the conversion and that file to MP3.

Yes - that's what I just found. I'm thinking that is the only way - a two step process.
Thanks. I have Audacity. I just think it is a pathetic app and don't use it. But may try this workflow to see if it is any better.
I have used this to convert from mp4 to mp3 audio in the past and works well.
Why Convert MP4 to MP3?
Reason one: Some old music players don't support MP4 format but are compatible with MP3 format, so people have to extract the audio tracks from MP4 clips and then save them as MP3.
Reason two: People are intent to DIY a video. To use the music from one video in another video, they need to extract audio from video.
Reason three: Download a video in MP4 format but only want the audio of the video.
