All in all, the three solutions above are all able to help you convert SWF to MP3. For me, I prefer Leawo products instead of SWF to MP3 converter online. Though SWF to MP3 converter online is convenient. And you don't need to download other programs. However, online converter needs internet access, which means video conversion process can't be processed offline. Besides, it requires video file uploading and downloading. The uploading might expose user's privacy if the video content is personal, and the downloading requires extra time which will in turn extend the conversion time. And the upload file has limit on its size. On the contrary, Leawo Video Converter and Music Recorder has no such troubles. Leawo products is recommended.
