However it is an MKV file and I tried to extract the audio by going to the website Media convert which I use but I keep getting error, can anyone suggest a good program that can extract audios from the MKV file?"

And MP3 is a digital audio encoding format using a form of lossy data compression, and it is quite easy for storage and well accepted by all audio players.
