I've downloaded the file, renamed it to |
42 |
The_Bronze_Age_Collapse_-_In_Our_Time_-_BBC_Radio.mp4 and copied it to |
43 |
the SD-card of my phone (Android 6.0.1). I can play it without problems |
44 |
with the "Vanilla Music" app (haven't tested other apps). |
45 |
|
46 |
I don't know anything about Google Drive (don't use any cloud services) |
47 |
so I cannot say if this would work on my device. |

If you wanna put the audio data into another container without recoding |
50 |
it, you can use for example something like that: |
51 |
|
52 |
ffmpeg -i filename.mp4 -acodec copy filename.m4a |
